Description

Ginger the fox can't wait to see Sylvester the Wild Cat, who puts on daring shows across the forest. Neither can her badger siblings, Grub, Bristle, and Berry. But when Ginger tries some fancy tricks herself, Sylvester says hurtful things. He even teases her about living with badgers.

The Wild Cat's mean words make Ginger wonder if she's a true fox. She sets out to find other animals like her. But she's about to learn that there's nothing better than being who you are . . .

"Luciani and Tharlet's lovely graphic offering feels as snug and familiar as a Beatrix Potter tale but adds a modern spin with its emphasis on being true to oneself."--Kirkus Reviews
