When every oopsie is followed by an uh-oh, little Ferret's embarrassment grows. How will she survive the day at Forest School?

Ferret strolled to school in style,
All silky fur and cheerful smile,

Until she tripped on someone’s duffle
And caused herself a slight kerfuffle.

From there her day gets worse and worse.
Embarrassment is Ferret’s curse!

Pencils spilled. Stubborn glue.
Toilet paper on her shoe!

There is one thing that helps her through.
Surprise! She’s just like me and you.

Ferret trips while getting off the bus, makes a gigantic glitter mess at craft time, urgently has to pee at recess, and gets toilet paper on her shoe! But when others in the classroom goof up in equally embarrassing ways, Ferret is relieved to discover that nobody's perfect.

The first book in the Forest School of Big Feelings series from Lisa Frenkel Riddiough and Andrea Tsurumi is sure to help little ones, parents, and caregivers navigate the many emotions of life.

Book 2 in the Forest School of Big Feelings series, FURIOUS TURTLE, will publish in Fall 2026.
