Noodle the Brave and Wiggly Woods

A heartwarming, rhyming adventure about facing fears, finding friends, and following a glow into the unknown. Noodle is a shy little hedgehog with a big imagination and a small voice. He loves reading stories about brave heroes who battle dragons, scale mountains, and soar through the sky. But Noodle? He's not so sure he's that kind of hedgehog. One quiet night, a golden firefly zips past Noodle's burrow-and everything changes. Curious and just a little bit scared, Noodle tiptoes into the mysterious Wiggly Woods. With shadows that wiggle and branches that crawl, the forest isn't exactly cozy. But when the firefly flashes twice and waits, Noodle decides to follow. Soon, he meets a rhyming jellybird, a ticklish raccoon, and a fork in the trail that makes him question everything... even his bravery. Luckily, the firefly-now named Glowbug-isn't just a light in the dark. He's a friend. And with Glowbug by his side, Noodle begins to discover that bravery doesn't mean being fearless... it means stepping forward anyway, even with a wobble in your paws. Told in playful, expressive rhyme with rich, warm illustrations, Noodle the Brave and the Wiggly Woods is a sweet and silly story about growing courage, making friends, and the tiny glow that lights us from within. Perfect for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, or any child who's ever felt just a little bit small. A cozy adventure full of heart, laughter, and light-because some of the bravest heroes wear spines.
