An extraordinary house on wheels is being towed along a forest track by doleful Moose. On board the house are philosophical Fox; distinguished Bear; theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that always points north; argumentative Little Owl, and loving, excitable Young Llama.

With nothing but her little blue suitcase, Fox has left home to join the animals’ expedition to the Snowlands to see the Northern Lights. They encounter many ups and downs on their travels – and their journey’s end will require the most courage of all… By turns funny and thoughtful, this is a brave, touching and timeless children’s fable about friendship, art and the journey of a lifetime.

This stunning book with its iconic animal characters has all the hallmarks of a future classic. With beautiful art and a courageous, touching message, this is perfect winter’s tale for readers young and old, from age 7+.

Themes of life and loss are handled with a lightness of touch, gentle humour and heart-warming hope and empathy.
