About Book

Barb Landon, a former teacher and storyteller at heart, brings a special warmth to this magical tale. Her words feel like a beloved grandmother sharing a cherished story, full of vivid descriptions that make the forest, fields, and dragon caves come alive. She has a gift for giving animals and mythical creatures distinct, relatable personalities, making their adventures and challenges feel both exciting and deeply heartfelt. The narrative voice is gentle yet compelling, perfectly balancing moments of playful fun with genuine tension.

At its core, this is a powerful reminder that courage and compassion can bridge even the deepest divides. It celebrates the idea that our unique differences are strengths, and that unity is our most powerful weapon against fear. The story encourages young readers to be curious, to be kind to those who are different, and to believe that no one is too small to make a big difference.
This enchanting adventure is perfectly suited for children ages 7 to 12 who love animals, magic, and stories where the underdog (or under-hedgehog!) becomes a hero. It’s an ideal book for parents and grandparents to read aloud, and a wonderful choice for any young reader who has ever felt that friendship is the greatest magic of all.
