Visual beauty plus the beauty of closeness in sad times. Cuddle close for this one. Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews

A red fox and a gray dormouse joyfully play in their forest home as the season begins to change from fall to winter.

Soon, the dormouse must hibernate, and the friends will part. As the time for sleep nears, the fox tries to keep the dormouse awake. Sleep indeed must come, but not before the two friends have shared one last story, knowing they will be together again in the spring.

This gentle friendship story is the perfect allegory for the bedtime ritual. And the reassuring message is clear: "I will be there for you when you wake."
