Evergreen Squirrel is afraid of almost everything: thunder, hawks, and the dark paths of Thornwood. . . But when her mother tasks her with delivering some magic soup to her Grandma Oak, who is sick with the flu, the little squirrel must face her fears and set off, careful not to spill a drop, for "Granny Oak will need every last drop to be cured." Along the way, Evergreen meets other forest dwellers: some want to help her, but others want the delicious soup her mother made. It's up to Evergreen to stay the course. . . Readers will love following Evergreen's journey as she grows into a more confident squirrel.
