After a snowstorm, a little squirrel calls out to the world around it, waking up the full moon, the ice, and fellow animals. Watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations in a palette of cool, nocturnal blues and woodland browns capture the creatures’ joyful jaunt in a rural snowscape and their affectionate goodbyes before the squirrel snuggles into bed, ready for rest. The minimal, rhythmic text provides both excitement and calm. A charming celebration of togetherness and the splendor of winter.
