A brilliantly funny story about empathy, kindness and the importance of not judging a book by its cover... or, in this case, a mole by his mound!
Mole is on a mission to build an extraordinary shelter for him and his friends. But Bird, Beaver and Bee don't see what the fuss is about – who would want to spend time in a muddy, mouldy mound when they could be enjoying Bird’s impressive nest, Beaver’s incredible lodge or Bee’s intricate hive?
One by one, they rush to build their own, far superior, homes, failing to notice a storm that is on its way. When it finally arrives, Bird, Beaver and Bee’s houses are destroyed, and they are forced to seek shelter inside Mole’s mound. It becomes clear that this seemingly ordinary mound is much more extraordinary on the inside.
Discover a meaningful story of resilience from debut author Will Hamilton-Davies, brilliantly illustrated by Kasia Fryza with her adorable, dynamic style.
