Life was ordinary in the big oak tree on Forest Lane. Squirrels lived in every part of the tree, and the Gray squirrel family inhabited the knot in the middle. But the neighborhood gradually changes as the big oak tree welcomes families of chipmunks, beavers, and birds. With each new arrival, the Grays become increasingly frustrated and reclusive. It will take an unexpected moment of heroism from a caring animal to ultimately open hearts and bind together this diverse community.

For fans of Mixed as well as the New York Times bestselling Come With Me and Be Kind.
