Olly, the Lone Red Squirrel: A Heartwarming Lesson in Friendship

"Olly is a red squirrel who enjoys watching the gray squirrels playing outside. He longs to be part of that fluffy group and to be their friend . Whenever he approaches the other squirrels, he is rejected because he is different. Not being accepted, Olly feels lonely and sad , until unexpected gifts from the forest change everything." ★★★ A beautifully illustrated story that raises awareness of bullying and racism, showing the importance of kindness, friendship, diversity and inclusion. ★★★ "My niece (6 years old) and I really enjoyed reading this warm and heartfelt story. The pictures are so beautiful! Immediately, we felt emotionally connected with the main character, the lone squirrel Olly. Following his journey from sad to happy is so heartwarming, that we wished the book to be longer :-)" review by Kay on 20 April, 2022.
