Squirrels may be considered by some as pests, but they play a big role in the circle of life. Larry Friend uses his book “Squirrelly the Squirrel and Starlett” to show children the life cycle of squirrels and to teach them about respect for all kinds of life. 

The book follows Squirrelly’s life from his birth, through his many adventures, up until he builds a home for his own family. In the narrative, the characteristics of squirrels and the dangers they face throughout their life are mentioned in an imaginative way—perfect for young readers. The book also introduces the concept of animal companionship in the form of Squirrelly’s wife, Starlett.

Paired with vibrant illustrations by Larry’s sister, Sidney “Mindy” Makis, “Squirrelly the Squirrel and Starlett” will charm youngsters and their parents into the fascinating life of squirrels. Larry Friend also included a glossary in his book that may be new to children, helping in the enrichment of their vocabularies.
