The second book in the Our Friend Hedgehog series will be warmly received by both fans of Hedgehog and readers new to the friends of Hedge Hollow. In this story, the titular Hedgehog, a humble, loyal, and anxious friend, finds herself face-to-face with another … hedgehog. Discovering more kin like herself stirs up feelings of belonging, but also separation from her beloved friends—Mole, Beaver, Hen and Chicks, Owl, and Annika Mae. Should she take up residence in Hedge Hideaway, the cozy chalet village where the other hedgehogs hibernate? The changing seasons challenge Hedgehog’s ideas of where she belongs. Only when the snow begins to swirl does she center on the solid understanding that home and family are self-defined. Lauren Castillo’s warm pen, pencil, and watercolor artwork lavishly illustrate this comforting early chapter book.  (Ages 4-8)
