Product Description
by Meredith Maltby Jao (Author), Chishan Jao (Illustrator)
A heartwarming animal adventure tale with an unlikely hero - for fans of Frog and Toad & Little Bear comes The Hesitant Hedgehog, the debut picture book from husband-and-wife team Meredith and Chishan Jao.
Hedgehog is a homebody. He's perfectly content to stay right where he is, until one day his excuses fall apart and he decides to go *gasp* OUTSIDE! It turns out that trying something new is not so bad - in fact, it's pretty fun, and he may have misjudged his woodland neighbors and their invitation to come out and play. Hedgehog returns to his beloved indoor activities with new eyes and maybe some new friends, too.
This is written for introverts or anyone who has ever felt different from everyone else. Parents, educators, and children alike will love this cozy read-aloud about nurturing acceptance in yourself and others.
