Bookroo's summary

Two siblings embark on a quest to retrieve their jump rope, only to find it in the paws of wishful foxes. As they navigate this enchanting world, they learn that the extraordinary often hides in plain sight. Will they reclaim their rope, or discover something even more magical? Dive into a tale where the ordinary meets the fantastical, and see the world through new eyes.

From the publisher

This charming story follows two children who go looking for their jump rope and discover that a group of foxes have claimed it as an answer to their wish. With beautiful, classic illustrations and lyrical text, here is a subtle, sensitive piece of magic that proves to sisters, brothers, and foxes alike that the trusted familiar often lives right next to the truly extraordinary–if only you have the eyes to see it.
