Squirrel Nation

In Squirrel Nation: Cali's First Brave Day, Cali is facing something that feels very big-walking through the doors of a new school.

With a brand-new backpack and a nervous heart, Cali isn't sure she can do it. But then a little squirrel named Lionel appears, and Cali discovers something special: Squirrel Nation is everywhere.

Its squirrels have an important job-to remind children that when they feel scared, worried, or alone, they are loved, capable, and braver than they realize.

With Mommy's encouragement and Lionel nearby, Cali learns that courage doesn't mean never feeling afraid. Sometimes courage simply means taking one little step... then another... then another.

Inspired by a real little girl, Squirrel Nation: Cali's First Brave Day is a heartwarming children's story about courage, confidence, kindness, big feelings, and believing in yourself. The book also includes special activities that encourage young readers to recognize their own brave moments and become part of Squirrel Nation.

Perfect for children experiencing first-day-of-school jitters, new experiences, worry, separation, or moments when they need a little extra courage.

Little Steps. Big Courage. Kind Hearts.
