Little Fox by Edward van de Vendel / illustrated by Marije Tolman

A Kirkus Best Picture Book of 2020

A beautiful, fully realized dreamscape." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Little Fox frolics with butterflies, scavenges for food, and searches for new friends-despite his father's warning that danger lurks all around. Then one day he takes a tumble, bumps his head, and starts dreaming of things that reflect both the beauty he's seen and the scary things he's heard.

Marije Tolman's ingenious illustrations use a fresh technique that feels like a movie and a dream, starring the cheerful, bright orange Little Fox on grainy mixed media landscapes of blue and green. And when Little Fox wakes up, he's perhaps a little wiser, but still every bit as curious and full of life."
