About This Book

The soft rustle of leaves and the cool earth beneath tiny paws fill the air as Kit, the baby raccoon, wakes up in a cozy hollow maple tree. Blind and hungry at first, Kit soon tumbles into a world of adventure, splashing in streams and searching for food with his playful siblings. Every new sound and taste brings excitement, and every day is a step closer to becoming a true forest explorer.
