Bookroo's summary

Phyllis, a spirited groundhog, senses an early spring, but convincing Uncle Phil to make his Groundhog Day prediction is a challenge. As the official Punxsutawney Phil nears retirement, Phyllis must prove her weather-predicting prowess against family expectations. Will she defy tradition and become the first Punxsutawney Phyllis, or will she be overshadowed by the boys in her family? With the stakes high, Phyllis's determination and love for all seasons might just change the course of Groundhog Day forever. Can she step into the spotlight and claim her rightful place?

From the publisher

Phyllis is not like other groundhogs. She loves to splash in the cold river in springtime, roast in the summer sun, and tromp through the winter snow. Every kind of weather makes Phyllis happy.

This year on February 2, Phyllis is excited because she can feel that an early spring is in the air. But how will she ever get old Uncle Phil out of bed to make his official Punxsutawney Phil Groundhog Day prediction?
