Hazel Finds Her Harvest - Hardcover

by Christopher Barnes (Author), Sarah Moller (Author)

When Hazel discovers she can't eat nuts like the other squirrels, she faces a serious problem: how will she survive winter? Determined to find her own solution, Hazel learns food preservation techniques from her woodland neighbors; sun-drying berries, safely storing seeds, and identifying edible mushrooms. While other squirrels are collecting nuts for their harvest, Hazel quietly builds expertise that no one else possesses. When an unexpected storm destroys the community's nut supply, suddenly everyone needs what only Hazel knows how to provide.

Hazel Finds Her Harvest delivers a compelling story about turning limitations into advantages and finding belonging through contribution rather than conformity. This tale will resonate with those who feel like outsiders while providing rich opportunities to discuss problem-solving, resourcefulness, and the value of diverse perspectives in building resilient communities.
