The first step to any adventure is to take the first step." "Be open to new things. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Do something you're a little not ready to do." "Be brave in your pursuits. Limits and fears can often be confused with one another." These simple yet powerful pieces of wisdom are paired with Charles Santoso's intricate illustrations, which follow the adventures of an adorable hedgehog. A naturally timid creature, the main character is seen unfurling from its defensive ball and engaging in various acts of bravery, reinforcing the book's theme in an endearing way.
