Fox's Feud

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to question the fairness of the world or struggling with the fallout of a peer conflict that feels impossible to resolve. Fox's Feud serves as a grounded exploration of what happens when old grudges resurface and the burden of leadership requires making sacrifices for the greater good. It is an unvarnished look at the natural world that refuses to sugarcoat the realities of survival and loss.
