Reach for this book when your child feels pressured to act a certain way or feels they are failing to meet the expectations of their peer group. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel like 'square pegs' or those navigating the complexities of unexpected responsibility. The story follows a hapless fox who tries to be a fierce predator but ends up adopting three baby chicks who believe he is their mother. This hilarious graphic novel explores the tension between identity and instinct through a lens of found family and unconditional love. While the humor is slapstick and fast-paced, the heart of the story lies in the fox's discovery that being 'bad' isn't nearly as rewarding as being loved. It is ideally suited for children ages 8 to 12 who appreciate wit and may be working through their own feelings of belonging or self-worth.
