A young squirrel who has big dreams of helping his family find a new home finds a big acorn instead, in this humorous and clever picture book by Caldecott Honoree Jason Griffin. Perfect for fans of THE LEAF THIEF and MEL FELL.

There's a hole in the ground where the squirrel family tree used to be, and so they set out on a hunt to find a new home.

Choko Choko, the smallest squirrel, is determined to help... but he's told he's too little to join. Too LITTLE?!

Choko Choko starts to have BIG feelings that grow into a storm cloud of BAD feelings. Luckily his grandma, Great Haha, always knows just what to say.

Like an acorn, you may be small, but you have big possibilities... Be the acorn.

When Choko Choko discovers the largest acorn he has ever seen, he remembers Great Haha's wise words... and he realizes that although he's small, he can dare to dream big.

Caldecott Honoree Jason Griffin's inspiring bright-eyed and bushy tale about a valiant young squirrel reminds young readers that with patience and time, they too can grow into something beautiful.
