Meet adorable Little Acorn in this gorgeous new picture book from award-winning author/illustrator and creator of the Murray and Bun series, Adam Stower.

Way up high in the treetops, sleeps a happy little acorn. Until one day, he falls to the forest floor with a THUMP!

Dormouse, Bird and Squirrel invite Little Acorn to dance, sing and play. But there’s only one place he wants to be – back in the treetops. The way back is not easy though – especially with a hungry piglet on the loose!

Can Little Acorn's new friends help him find the courage to step out of his comfort zone and enjoy living in the moment? And will he ever make it back to the top of the tree?

A wonderfully funny and reassuring story about friendship – perfect for children facing new experiences.
