Helping Hedgehog Home
When a new fence is put up, Hedgehog is left trapped outside her garden. Grandpa Burdock and Granny Dandelion must be creative to help her get home. A gentle story about the importance of community and looking after our environment.
Includes information about hedgehogs and how to make a papier-mache hot air balloon.
"Karin Celestine creates worlds full of curiosity, kindness and adventure that can happen in any back garden or window box. Her characters open our eyes to the small wonders around us, and open our hearts to the small creatures we share our lives with."
Gill Lewis
"The latest in this series of quietly exquisite little books, continues with the theme of kindness and empathy. But there’s a good dose of science and invention too and the excellent take home message that ‘A Good Idea’, delivered at the right moment has the power to change lives. Satisfying storyline that the littlest children can follow and bigger ones enjoy, and illustrations with a charm somewhere between ‘Flower Fairies’ and ’Tales Of The RiverBank. Perfect Easter reading!"

"...Adventurous, funny and clever, the clear and easy to read text make this book perfect for young readers and to share with the family or classroom. There is much room for both discussions about the natural world we share and for flights of the imagination. Each character has its' own unique personality, and as a community display a great gift for compassion and willingness to get along. They bring their own gifts to the situation and, because of that, the problem is easily solved. The illustrations are endlessly charming; made with felt creatures Celestine handcrafts herself, painstakingly places and photographs. The result is the creation of a marvellous, artistic, inventive and very real world...."
