On a serene woodland farm, a gap in the hedge invites a parade of wildlife, turning an ordinary day into an extraordinary spectacle. As the sun rises and sets, each creature's arrival adds life and magic to the farm. What wonders will the animals bring as they slip through the hedge, and how will this hidden passage change the farm forever? Experience the enchanting dance of nature in this beautifully illustrated tale.

From the publisher

Discover the wonder that wildlife brings to a small woodland farm in this “atmospheric…lilting” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) cumulative picture book with stunning scratchboard illustrations from Caldecott Medalist Beth Krommes. This is the hedge that grew and grew. The wall of stone a bit askew. This is the gap where the deer slip through, when the sky is still more pink than blue… Throughout the course of a beautiful summer day, from sunrise to moonrise, a host of animals find their way through a gap in the hedge, bringing the farm to life.
