The Helpful Hedgedog

About the Book

Follow Henry the hedgehog as he sees his classmates in need of some basic life essentials. He problem solves with his family and community on how best to help his friends, while being an example of kindness, generosity and resourcefulness to those around him. Henry sees his classmates without proper winter garments or not enough to eat. With the help of those around him he not only helps his animal friends, but also others who he doesn’t even know. Henry can teach all of us that if we look, we can see need right under our noses. If we enlist the help of others, we can do more, and if we are grateful for what we have it’s actually fun to help others! As a young hedgehog he has the urge to put on his cape of heroism and tell everyone what he did, but in the end, he realizes that his silence, humility and gratitude are what should rule the day and guide his spirit. Come on this fun adventure of happy gratitude and helping others in real ways. You too can be a helpful hedgehog!
