About this item
A little fox discovers the wonders of the world around him in this exuberant picture book that celebrates the seasons and the relationship between a parent and child.When Mama Fox tells her new baby that it's time to go outside for the first time, he isn't so sure. So Mama promises to stay by his side as they tumble though Little Fox's first year of life, a year spent splashing in puddles, trying new foods, leaping in leaves, and snuggling in snow. And then, before long, Little Fox is all grown up. But is he ready to go off on his own? With sweet rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, Rick Chrustowski tells a tender story of parent-child love and how wonderful - and wistful - it feels when a little one leaves the nest.
About the Author
My love for animals shines through all of my artwork. When I am outside I am always on the look out for anything that moves. What was that bug that zippped by? Which bird did I just hear sing? Where is that rabbit hopping to? These are all questions that run through my thoughts.Then I go looking for answers. I read everything I can including books, magazines, websites. I like to find an expert who can answer my questions, too. I often learn many things that surprise me. For 20 years I lived on a farm in Wisconsin. I grew my own food, and had a huge garden. I raised chickens and had horses, dogs, and cats. I loved watching the seasons come and go from my old farmhouse. Now I live in an old house in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I love learning about animals that live here. It is a whole new adventure! I live just blocks away from the Mississippi river where I like to hike and kayak. Most of my books have been nonfiction based on facts I have learned. I also love telling stories, so I am working on ideas for fiction books based on character. Thanks for dropping by my Amazon page and I hope you will check back to see what I am up to in the future.You can learn more about me and my books, and do some fun activities at my site www.rickchrustowski.com
