Our Friend Hedgehog: A Place to Call Home by Lauren Castillo
Hello, Lauren Castillo! Welcome back to Watch. Connect. Read.!

Look at that gorgeous cover!! What are three things you want everyone to know about Our Friend Hedgehog: A Place to Call Home?
Lauren Castillo: Making a second Hedgehog book was so special because it meant I could spend more time in Hedge Hollow with the friends I got so close to while making book one.
I got to weave 3 little things into the story that I really love: tiny houses, interior design, and animals in clothing. : )
I loved writing about the theme of chosen family: Finding the people who lift you up and help you to embrace your most authentic self. I hope the book will be a comfort to those readers who need it.

On the one paw, Hedgehog is excited to meet one of her own kind, but on the other paw, she has never felt so different—or distant—from her old friends. Where does Hedgehog belong, and who does she belong with? A journey upriver through an unfamiliar forest just might lead her home…
