Summary

Little Hedgehog is BACK and she is not quite...herself. This story is a lighthearted exploration of how our brains and bodies are connected. When Little Hedgehog falls ill, her enthusiastic demeanor is replaced with a dark cloud. Will Little Hedgehog get her sparkle back? Listen and find out. ENJOY!

If your tiny person wants to share a story they've written, please send photos or recordings of it to rhea@littlestoriestinypeople.com.
