A garden brings Jasper out of his solitude

Jasper, a sasquatch who prefers life on his own, finds purpose in tending a turnip garden—until hungry deer threaten the crop. Their ongoing contest over the nearly ripe vegetables gives the story its central comic conflict, while Jasper’s growing efforts to protect his garden also place his solitude in a new light. The shift toward helping someone in need connects the woodland mishap to questions of companionship and openness to others. With a sasquatch, garden trouble, and clever deer at its center, the book pairs a fantastical setup with an everyday source of conflict.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about woodland creatures and fantasy.
  • Young readers who like garden adventures and humorous animal conflicts.
  • Families looking for a picture-book story about solitude, companionship, and helping others.

Book overview

When a loner sasquatch's turnip garden is besieged by deer, he's having none of that.

For Jasper, life as a sasquatch isn't too bad. He has a nice house in the woods where he lives alone. Just the way he likes it. Being around other animals can be a little stressful. So Jasper keeps to himself, and life is good, even if some days are a bit lonely. To keep himself busy, Jasper decides to grow a turnip garden. It's hard work but it's very satisfying. With caretaking, the garden should yield a bountiful crop of yummy turnips.

But one morning, just as the turnips are almost ready for harvest . . . disaster! Hungry deer have swooped in to eat Jasper's garden! Clever Jasper comes up with a way to thwart these turnip thieves. But as it turns out, the deer are even more clever. Though Jasper tries more and more ways to keep his veggies safe, nothing seems to work.

Then the situation changes, and someone special needs some help. Maybe a little company isn't such a bad thing.
