Instead of storing acorns, a carefree squirrel, named Stick, enjoys eating junk food all summer. In the winter, he depends on the food his family saved and he learns the value of saying “I’m sorry” and forgiveness. The story continues when none of the squirrels can find enough food to eat and Stick sees a courageous way to make up for his irresponsibility. Teachable moments mixed with humor help children see the importance of mending families and friendships. Delightful illustrations bring giggles and compliment this character-building story making it appropriate for preschool, kindergarten and on up.
