Our Library

A parent might reach for this book when their child is facing the loss of a beloved place, like a park or local shop, and needs a hopeful model for community action. The story follows a raccoon and his forest friends who are heartbroken when a storm destroys their library, a stump full of books. Instead of giving up, they work together, using each of their unique talents, to build a new and better library for everyone to share. It beautifully illustrates themes of teamwork, resilience, and the joy of shared resources. Gentle and empowering, this book is perfect for ages 4 to 8, showing children that they can be agents of positive change in their own communities.
