A perfect birthday gift for young readers, this is a sweet story that celebrates friendship. "The expressive and witty and sometimes fierce watercolor illustrations - spread over a double page - complete this picture book. They are beautiful and atmospheric, it is visually wonderful to stay in this forest. Beautiful picture book that deserves a prominent place in many living rooms, and therefore also in many libraries." - Kontich Library

Nina lives in the Wild Woods, where the woodland animals are her very best friends. There’s something strange going on today – the woods seem awfully quiet. And why doesn’t anyone seem to have time for her? Not Aunt Dora. Not the three woodsy woodsmen, Nick, Rick and Vick. Not Little Sparrow, Crow, Weasel or Squirrel…nobody! But then she hears noises and singing in the distance. Something’s going on…but, what? Nina’s going to find out!

Shhh…there’s a surprise coming for Nina in this clever celebratory story brought to life in uproarious illustrations. Perfect birthday gift for young readers, this is a sweet story that celebrates friendship. For children ages 5 and up.
