Quill the Forest Keeper by Marije Tolman
Join Quill the hedgehog on a bedtime adventure to rediscover the magic of quiet moments. "Long, long ago it was so busy. Nobody had time to stop for a moment. Everything and everyone had to be higher, faster, further, bigger, prettier, more!" Thus begins Grandpa Hedgehog's story of the Rush Era. A time not so different from our own, where everyone was constantly on the move and no one had time to stop for a moment, even to care for the forest. Everyone except for a tiny hero named Quill. Can this gentle soul teach the rushing world to stop and smell the flowers before it's too late? Dive into Quill the Forest Keeper, a captivating bedtime story from Marije Tolman, translated by David Colmer, and rediscover the magic of quiet moments.
