Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Boy, The Mole, The
Fox and the Horse in this charming, emotionally touching children's
fable from award-winning author Jeremy Strong, highly illustrated
in black and white and launched in a beautiful, covetable
hardback.
An extraordinary house on wheels is being towed along a forest
track by doleful Moose. On board the house are philosophical Fox;
distinguished Bear; theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that
always points north; argumentative Little Owl, and loving, excitable
Young Llama.
With nothing but her little blue suitcase, Fox has left home to
join the animals' expedition to the Snowlands to see the Northern
Lights. They encounter many ups and downs on their journey, but
it is beneath the magic of the Lights that they must face their
most heart-wrenching loss...
By turns funny, thoughtful and heartfelt, this is a story about
the importance of art, music, books, shortbread biscuits and, ultimately,
saying goodbye to the ones we love.
This stunning book with its iconic animal characters has all
the hallmarks of a future classic, with notes of The Jungle Book
and Charlotte's Web, ideal for fans of Sara Pennypacker's
Pax and Iona Rangeley's Einstein the Penguin.
With beautiful art and a courageous, touching message, this is
perfect winter's tale for readers young and old, from age 7+.
Jeremy Strong handles themes of life and loss with a lightness
of touch, gentle humour and heart-warming hope and empathy.
