About the Book

In a wintry woodland, in the dark of night, a young fox talks to the wise old moon about the things that truly matter. Their conversation continues through the seasons…

How can we embrace the restfulness of winter while we wait for the hope of spring? In summer, how do we learn to love ourselves, and how can we show those around us how much we love them? And as autumn brings its changes, how do we learn to let go?

These words and illustrations will bring the gift of hope and comfort to anyone trying to navigate a world as uncertain as it is beautiful.
