Welcome, Little Squirrel
Hazelnut the squirrel’s nest was in a hole in a tree, and she had everything ready for Winter: a warm bed made of leaves, a pantry full of nuts, and hundreds of seeds hidden in secret places all over the forest …
Winter is just around the corner, and Hazelnut has worked hard to get ready. In her cozy nest high up in a tree, the little squirrel watches the last leaves of the fall flutter past, when suddenly the tree trunk crashes to the ground. Oh no! The beavers have chomped it down! Hazelnut is heartbroken. What will she do now?
Luckily, the beavers realize their mistake and quickly offer her their home. The squirrel makes an effort, working hard to carry logs across the river, but soon abandons the idea of spending her days in the water. Later, while searching for a new place to shelter, she meets the bats, who kindly offer her their cave for the winter, but…
The first snowflakes are falling… Will Hazelnut find a comfy home in time? An exciting adventure through the forest that will invite readers to discover the importance of tolerance and respect for living together, and how generosity and solidarity flourish in the face of adversity.
