What can happen to a little squirrel in just one summer day?
A young squirrel has a strange problem: it’s afraid of heights. To live a full squirrel life, it must overcome this fear. But dangers lurk everywhere, and the little squirrel must face a hunting goshawk and a horned owl—along with its own fear.
The Animal Family series’ seventh narrative non-fiction book explores the life of squirrels. This family-friendly work combines educational text, storytelling, and Hannu Laakso’s internationally awarded, vibrant and intimate nature photography in an enchanting way. The series has become a favorite among grandparents who read the books together with their grandchildren. The books follow each animal family and their adventures from the animal family’s perspective! Believe it or not, but the stories are partly based on true events – witnessed by the author!
