The Lanterns of Mossberry Hollow - Paperback

by Sharon Jost (Author)

Discover the heartwarming beginning of Mossberry Hollow in this charming winter picture book about friendship, kindness, and finding warmth together.

Long ago, the woodland animals lived far apart throughout a snowy forest. The winters were cold, quiet, and lonely, and no lanterns glowed beneath the trees.

Then, one snowy evening, a terrible winter storm swept through the woods.

Young Ms. Owl spotted a tiny golden light glowing between the trees. Curious, she followed the warm glow through the storm-and discovered a lantern that would help guide Finn Fox safely through the snowy woods.

Soon, Hazel Hedgehog, Poppy Rabbit, Bramber Bear, and Pip Squirrel joined them beneath the glowing lantern. Together, the woodland friends shared soup, stories, blankets, and laughter.

But their gathering was only the beginning.

The animals began building little cottages beside one another, along with bridges, lantern posts, gathering places, and winding snowy paths. Their once-cold and lonely forest slowly became a warm and welcoming community.

The Lanterns of Mossberry Hollow is a beautifully illustrated story for young readers that celebrates friendship, kindness, togetherness, community, and the comforting light we can share with one another.

A cozy winter read-aloud for families, classrooms, libraries, and children who love woodland animals, snowy forests, magical lanterns, and heartwarming stories.
