The Wolf Mother's Secret Recipe

In a forest far, far away, life is anything but uneventful. The wolves are trying to figure out how Mother Hare’s carrots grow so long and plump. A hardworking snail named Sullivan longs to build a skyscraper. The squirrel parents are doing their best to raise their extreme-sports-obsessed son to be more to other forest-dwellers’ liking. Challenges galore are faced by urban animals, too, like the clever caterpillar, the sleep-deprived aquarium fish, and the checkers-loving cat Tiiu. And if need be, the animals can strike silly poses for humans’ cameras by wallowing in the mud or just lollygagging and skipping around!

Despite the colourful selection of protagonists, the stories form a well-oiled ensemble of animals who teach us about empathy, tolerance and living in moment. They show that it’s so much easier to co-exist when everyone is friendly and attentive. And a bit of humour doesn’t harm either!
