Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

One day, Fox waits by a forest track with a small blue suitcase and the feeling that something extraordinary is about to happen. And then, along comes an incredible house on wheels, towed by doleful Moose.

On board are distinguished Bear and theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that always points north. Together, the animals embark on an adventure: they’re off to see the fabled Northern Lights.

The expedition brings them new friends, like excitable Young Llama and argumentative Little Owl. But they also meet challenges along the wayβ€”and their journey’s end will require the most courage of all.

A brave, touching and timeless children’s fable about friendship, art and the journey of a lifetime.
