About This Book

A young girl squirrel named Slicko grows up in a leafy tree nest and is taught to jump, forage, and evade danger by her parents. Her curiosity propels a series of episodic adventures—meeting a comical pig and other animals, visiting a circus, and learning simple tricks. She confronts threats from hunters and traps, experiences capture and relocation, and shows resilience by adapting to new homes. After running away and facing a larger perilous journey, she ultimately finds her original nest and settles into a safer life.
