Ready, Steady Squirrel

Ready, Steady Squirrel by Nicola Kinnear
 
Winter has arrived in the forest, and determined little Evie has an important job to do. She must gather the nuts, acorns and pine cones stored away during autumn—and she is certain she can manage every part of the task by herself.
 
Evie is ready. She is steady. She is going squirrelling! But the snowy journey soon becomes much bigger than one small squirrel expected.
 
Filled with warmth, movement and beautiful wintry detail, Nicola Kinnear’s illustrations follow Evie through determination, frustration and an important discovery: accepting help does not make an achievement any less your own. A cosy, encouraging story about independence, perseverance, friendship and the strength of doing difficult things together.
