From a Caldecott Honor-winning artist comes a cozy, warm-hearted story about the meaning of home and the power of friendship to help you become your truest self.

“Our Friend Hedgehog feels like a modern-day Winnie the Pooh.” –Victoria Jamieson, Newbery Honor-winning author of Roller Girl

Families come in all shapes and sizes.
Sometimes they are joined by birth, and other times they are chosen…

Autumn leaves are falling in Hedge Hollow, and the change in season brings with it a spiny surprise… another hedgehog! Hedgehog is excited to meet one of her own kind. But it also makes her feel different—and distant—from her old friends. Where does Hedgehog belong, and who does she belong with? A journey upriver through an unfamiliar forest just might lead her home.

From the Caldecott Honor-winning author-illustrator of Our Friend Hedgehog: The Story of Us comes a tale of old friends and new, and the true meaning of home.

★ “Delightful . . . An endearing and heartwarming journey to define family and self that will resonate deeply.” —Kirkus, starred review

★ “A perfect seasonal offering that carries a warm message of family love, whatever form one’s family may take… this chapter book will delight young readers with its gentle drama, sweet characters, and humorous charm” —Booklist, starred review

★ “A perfect fall read-aloud, but equally enjoyable as an independent read with a cup of hot chocolate.”—School Library Journal, starred review
