It is spring and Little Red fox is excited to be reunited with his best friend, Hazel dormouse who will shortly wake from hibernation. But over the winter, the fox has made another friend, Brock the badger. Little Red needs to find a way to introduce the friends while maintaining the special friendship with Hazel he holds so dear. This book continues the friendship story told in the companion title Before We Sleep, also by Volpe and Proietti, although it may be read and appreciated completely on its own.
