A chance discovery gives shy Mole someone to welcome into his burrow. As he shares songs, secrets, and stories with the tiny thing, the friendship he imagines becomes a source of confidence—and a first step toward connecting with the birds and squirrels around him. This picture book brings together make-believe companionship, feeling left out, and the small encouragement that can help someone begin to reach out.

Book overview

A mole stumbles upon a tiny thing and finds his life forever changed by the power of imagination and finding self-confidence in this tender and enchanting picture book.

When shy Mole is out walking one day, he sees a tiny thing. He brings it to his burrow and immediately sets out to make it feel at home. Mole, who had never been noticed by the squirrels or included by the birds, finds an imaginary friend in the tiny thing. Soon, he feels brave enough to share songs, secrets, and stories--and even bring the tiny thing out into the world!

Sometimes, even the tiniest of encouragement is all that's needed to branch out and make new friends.
