Illustrated by
Gabriel Evans.
Adolescent tree squirrel Phoenix is happily living in a New Jersey forest when a hawk grabs him, then drops him in Manhattan. After rats--the lowest of rodents--rescue him from drowning, Phoenix is surprised that they generously care for him. Gradually, Phoenix becomes a valued member of the community. Seidler playfully provides a squirrel's-eye view of the world but, with questions of creature cooperation and interspecies relationships, fosters deeper contemplation.
