Tommy Dean and The Little Red Squirrel

This book is about a country boy who befriends an abandoned baby squirrel. He raises it to adulthood and watches as it finds a mate and raises its own family, eventually leaving the boy to live in the wild. The boy learns an important lesson about squirrels especially empathy and compassionate response, daily in this and all of life, and the importance of letting go.
