A heartwarming story that offers reassurance to anyone who is hesitant to try new things, giving them permission to take the time they need to feel ready

Tonight’s the night! It’s the very first time that Finnegan Fox and his brothers and sisters are allowed to venture out of their den. Everyone is bursting with excitement—except for Finnegan, who feels safer staying inside with Mama. Finnegan can hear his siblings having a great time playing outside, but no matter how much they want him to join them, their invitations fall on too-anxious ears. Then a gust of wind carries in a smell that just might be too delicious to resist. Will Finnegan be able to work up the courage to follow it?
Lori Nichols is the author and illustrator of the award-winning picture book Maple. Its companion books include Maple & Willow Together, Maple & Willow Apart, and Maple & Willow’s Christmas Tree. She also illustrated Go Sleep in Your Own Bed! by Candace Fleming.

Lori’s debut book, Maple, won the Giverny Award and was selected to represent the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in 2015 and 2016. Both Maple and Maple & Willow Together were named a Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year.
