The Pest of Summer

In this charming picture book by best-selling author Katy Hudson, an earnest raccoon sets out to make friends—which isn’t easy when the entire forest only thinks of her as a sneaky bandit who causes trouble. | Summer. A season with long, hot days and endless activities. The perfect season to spend extra time with friends. Sadly, Raccoon doesn’t have any friends. Not a single one. It isn’t her fault!

She's going to go from the summer pest to the summer best this year! In this heartwarming picture book, best-selling author/illustrator Katy Hudson (Too Many Carrots, A Loud Winter's Nap, and A Bold Pumpkin Plan) highlights themes of perseverance, acceptance, and friendship with her expressive and detailed art, endearing and earnest characters, and charming story.
