With characteristic warmth and humour, Helen Stephens' exquisite new picture book celebrates the precious wildlife that lives all around us, and shows how even the smallest of us can help to protect it.
This is the picture book for every little one's shelf, about how sometimes the smallest people make the biggest difference.

Hugely topical: a warmly funny environmental book with heart - will inspire children to look out for, love and protect their local wildlife. Striking cover design with gold foil - a perfect gift book.
