In the heart of the wood stands an ancient oak, home to a badger family for generations. As night falls, the badgers roam the forest, following paths laid down by those who came before. But when one young badger loses his way in the darkness, how will he find his way home?

A beautifully crafted modern fable about family, growth and adventure, this debut picture book by Alexi Francis, with intricate papercut pages, offers a gentle moral for young readers whilst inspiring a love of nature and outdoor exploration.

Featuring stunning pen-and-ink illustrations of woodland creatures, the book moves from shadow to light as dawn breaks, drawing readers into its immersive world. Intricately cut pages reveal hidden layers of the story, inviting readers to follow the badger's journey through the woods.

Perfect for fans of The Fox and the Star by Coralie Bickford-Smith.
