\"\"When a bouncy little squirrel named Hazel loses her tail, her dad decides to make her a new one. But first he has to venture out into the dark dangerous night to gather everything he needs...\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hazel climbed so high, she thought she could touch the clouds. As her tummy started rumbling she knew it was time to go home. But a branch had broken and then disaster struck. Why did some animals think she looked like a hamster!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspired by a bedtime story originally created by the author to comfort his daughter, who underwent a series of operations when she was very small.

The author is Julian Reisz, an Anglo-French father of three now living in Sweden. His daughter was very tiny when she was diagnosed with hip problems resulting in major surgery, traumatic in the extreme. The Squirrel\u2019s Tail was the story they shared together and created by Julian, at that difficult time.<\/p>\n
