From the Caldecott Honor-winning author of Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us comes a warm-hearted story about the meaning of home and the power of friendship to help you become your truest self.
Families come in all shapes and sizes. S
ometimes they are joined by birth, and other times they are chosen... Autumn leaves are falling in Hedge Hollow, and the change in season brings with it a spiny surprise... another
hedgehog! Is it friend or foe? Or is it . . . family?
On the one paw, Hedgehog is excited to meet one of her own kind, but on the other paw, she has never felt so different--or distant--from her old friends. Where does Hedgehog belong, and who does she belong
with? A journey upriver through an unfamiliar forest just might lead her home...
From the award-winning author-illustrator of
Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us comes a tale of old friends and new, and the true meaning of home.
