Sorrel and the Last Hazelnut

Sorrel the little red squirrel loves nothing more than to gather and to give. All through the golden autumn she shares her nuts and seeds — with a shivering robin, a lost little mouse, a slow old hedgehog, and the smallest hungry wren — until, at last, she gives away her very last hazelnut. But when the long, white winter comes and Sorrel's own store is bare, something wonderful happens: one by one, every little friend she ever helped comes knocking at her door, arms full of kindness to give back.Sorrel and the Last Hazelnut is a warm, gentle read-aloud fable about generosity, friendship, and how the kindness we give always finds its way home — and grows. With cozy woodland illustrations and a tender full-circle ending, it's a perfect bedtime story for little ones learning to share and care. Ages 4 to 8.
