Summary

In this story, we meet Felix, a young arctic fox who feels left behind when all the other foxes' fur changes for spring—except his. While others blend in, Felix stands out, and he begins to wish he could disappear. But a chance meeting with a golden-tinged hedgehog named Marnie helps Felix see his uniqueness in a new light. Through kindness, courage, and a growing understanding of what it means to be different, Felix learns that standing out might be the very thing that makes him shine.
