Summary

Wes never intended to become a book delivery squirrel. Five years ago, he unexpectedly fell into the job. Since then, he's excelled at his work and he's also become an avid reader. Every day he sets out with books to deliver and every night he returns his empty cart to Pages in the Pines Bookshop. But on the day we meet him, Wes discovers an undelivered book in his cart at the end of his shift. Listen in to this gentle story to find out whether Wes will locate the mystery owner of the book and discover the reason it was left in his cart. Thank you to ALON for the super important reminder message at the beginning!
