Description

Summer. A season with long, hot days and endless activities. The perfect season to spend extra time with friends. Sadly, Raccoon doesn’t have any friends. Not a single one. It isn’t her fault! Raccoons have a bad reputation, and it always gets worse in the summer (no thanks to pest control). But Raccoon is smart, caring, creative, and fun, and it's time to let the world see it. She's going to go from the summer pest to the summer best this year! In this heartwarming picture book, best-selling author/illustrator Katy Hudson (Too Many Carrots, A Loud Winter's Nap, and A Bold Pumpkin Plan) highlights themes of perseverance, acceptance, and friendship with her expressive and detailed art, endearing and earnest characters, and charming story.

For ages 4-8.
