Illustrated by
Sydney Hanson.
Voigt establishes an energetic, curious, joyful, impulsive tone as we follow Toaff, a young gray squirrel, over the course of four seasons. This set of adventures (from storms and predator attacks to understanding the strange behavior of humans) is likely to have special resonance for those young readers who don't default to patience and are inclined to leap before they look.
