Overview

A chucklesome story from author-illustrator Alice Courtley that celebrates diversity in nature, and shows that what's ""best"" is a matter of perspective.  Steve is a city squirrel. He's got style, he's cultured, he knows what he likes. But for a while now he's felt a call to the wild . . . So Steve packs up his things, says goodbye to city life and moves to the forest. He's got BIG plans: he's going to build the best garden in the world. He's got his vision in mind, his tools at hand, and his rules for visitors ready. So, why don't the forest folk seem to enjoy his garden as much as he does? Steve sets off to find out, and with each forest neighbour he meets, Steve discovers that perhaps what he thought was ""best"" might have been missing a thing or two . . .  A timeless story about fresh starts, friendship, and gaining new perspectives.
