Bookroo's summary

In Hedge Hollow, the arrival of a new hedgehog stirs questions of belonging for Hedgehog. Torn between excitement and feeling distant from her friends, she embarks on a journey upriver. Will this adventure through an unfamiliar forest help her discover where she truly belongs? As seasons change, so do the bonds of friendship and family. Explore the heartwarming tale of finding one's place in the world and the power of chosen family.

From the publisher

From the Caldecott Honor-winning author of Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us comes a warm-hearted story about the meaning of home and the power of friendship to help you become your truest self. Families come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are joined by birth, and other times they are chosen… Autumn leaves are falling in Hedge Hollow, and the change in season brings with it a spiny surprise… another hedgehog! Is it friend or foe? Or is it . . . family? On the one paw, Hedgehog is excited to meet one of her own kind, but on the other paw, she has never felt so different–or distant–from her old friends. Where does Hedgehog belong, and who does she belong with? A journey upriver through an unfamiliar forest just might lead her home… From the award-winning author-illustrator of Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us comes a tale of old friends and new, and the true meaning of home.
