Bookroo's summary

In a forest where seasons change like clockwork, a young fox embarks on a journey of growth. Guided by nurturing parents, he learns to hunt, hide, and run with the wind. As he masters these skills, the time comes for him to face the world alone. Will he thrive in the wild, or will the challenges of independence prove too daunting? This tender tale of growing up invites readers to explore the beauty and trials of nature's cycle.

From the publisher

Against the rhythmic background of turning seasons, a little fox learns that there is a time for everything. The rain, the clouds, the days all come and go as the little fox, guided by his wise and loving parents, learns to hunt on his own and bury his food, cover his trail and run like the wind. Now he is ready to go out on his own.As depicted by an award-winning pair, the gentle story of the rearing of a baby fox, together with sensuous illustrations, takes readers on a journey deep into the woods to tell a tale that all will recognize that of growing up and moving out.”
