Harry Hartog's review
Grief can be a hard subject to approach with little ones but this book gives a beautiful insight into how we can hold onto the memories of those we’ve loved and lost. - Sam, Harry Hartog Maroochydore
Description
Fox has lived a long and happy life in the forest. One day, he lies down in his favourite clearing, takes a deep breath, and falls asleep for ever.
Before long, Fox's friends begin to gather in the clearing. One by one, they tell stories of the special moments that they shared with Fox. And, as they share their memories, a tree begins to grow, becoming bigger and stronger, sheltering and protecting all the animals in the forest, just as Fox did when he was alive.
This gentle and comforting tale celebrates life and the memories that are left behind when a loved one dies.
