Fox Goes North

More about the book

A story about love, life, friendship, and loss, this enchanting children's fable by award-winning author Jeremy Strong is beautifully illustrated in black and blue and presented in a stunning hardback edition. The narrative follows an extraordinary house on wheels towed by a melancholic Moose, carrying a cast of delightful characters: philosophical Fox, distinguished Bear, theatrical Toucan, argumentative Little Owl, and loving Young Llama. Fox, with only a little blue suitcase, leaves home to join the animals on their expedition to the Snowlands to witness the Northern Lights. Their journey is filled with ups and downs, ultimately requiring immense courage. This touching tale blends humor and thoughtfulness, exploring themes of friendship, art, and the journey of life. With iconic animal characters reminiscent of classics like The Jungle Book and Charlotte's Web, it appeals to fans of Sara Pennypacker's Pax and Iona Rangeley's Einstein the Penguin. The book's beautiful artwork and heartfelt message make it a perfect winter's tale for readers aged 7 and up. Life and loss are approached with gentle humor and a sense of hope, making it a timeless read for both young and old.
