Little Red: Return to the Trees

This beautifully illustrated children's story is a heartfelt tribute to the red squirrel - bright of tail, quick of paw, and full of forest secrets.

A gentle, beautifully illustrated series for ages 2-8, about nature, friendship, and the quiet courage of one brave red squirrel.

Once, red squirrels thrived across the British Isles - a familiar flash among the trees. Today, they face many threats: the loss of ancient woodlands, and challenges that came later.

In Part 1: Return to the Trees, we meet Little Red - a brave young squirrel making a quiet stand to protect her woodland home, one acorn at a time.

A tale of nature, friendship and gentle courage, this first story in the Little Red: Warrior Squirrel series introduces young readers to a world where even the smallest creature can make a difference.

Created by UK journalist and conservation advocate Marie Carter-Robb, this two-part story honours the red squirrel - a native species under threat from habitat loss and ecological imbalance.

The series forms part of a wider campaign to raise awareness - including a national petition to protect red squirrels and their woodland homes.

Part 2: A Forest Divided will explore the arrival of the grey squirrel and the delicate balance of life in the forest.

For now, join Little Red in a world of seeds, moss, and the quiet power of something small.

With a foreword by Terry Abraham - award-winning filmmaker and storyteller of the wild - whose passion for red squirrel conservation continues to inspire people of all ages, and whose affection for these cheeky 'red scamps' shines through.
