by Ellen Tarlow (Author), Lauren Stringer (Illustrator)
A mole stumbles upon a tiny thing and finds his life forever changed by the power of imagination and finding self-confidence in this tender and enchanting picture book.
When shy Mole is out walking one day, he sees a tiny thing. He brings it to his burrow and immediately sets out to make it feel at home. Mole, who had never been noticed by the squirrels or included by the birds, finds an imaginary friend in the tiny thing. Soon, he feels brave enough to share songs, secrets, and stories--and even bring the tiny thing out into the world! Sometimes, even the tiniest of encouragement is all that's needed to branch out and make new friends.Author Biography
