Product description

“A story about love, life, friendship and loss … it is wonderful” – The I
“Enchanting” – Telegraph
“An old fashioned, all-ages classic” – Observer
“Funny, sweet story … that tugs at the heartstrings. A classy last act.” – Daily Mail
Winnie-the-Pooh meets Charlotte’s Web in this charming, emotionally touching children’s fable from award-winning author Jeremy Strong, highly illustrated in black and white by Heegyum Kim, now in paperback.
An extraordinary house on wheels is being towed along a forest track by doleful Moose. On board the house are philosophical Fox; distinguished Bear; theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that always points north; argumentative Little Owl, and loving, excitable Young Llama.
With nothing but her little blue suitcase, Fox has left home to join the animals’ expedition to the Snowlands to see the Northern Lights. They encounter many ups and downs on their travels – and their journey’s end will require the most courage of all…
By turns funny and thoughtful, this is a brave, touching and timeless children’s fable about friendship, art and the journey of a lifetime.


  • This stunning book with its iconic animal characters has all the hallmarks of a future classic, with notes of The Jungle Book and Charlotte’s Web, ideal for fans of Sara Pennypacker’s Pax and Iona Rangeley’s Einstein the Penguin.

  • With beautiful art and a courageous, touching message, this is perfect winter’s tale for readers young and old, from age 7+.

  • Themes of life and loss are handled with a lightness of touch, gentle humour and heart-warming hope and empathy.

Jeremy Strong is an author that children choose to read, time and time again. Like it frantic? Like it funny? Split your sides with riotous rib-ticklers from the king of comedy, full of suspense, mystery, wild twists of fate – and Jeremy Strong’s trademark cheeky chuckles! Whether it’s a baby’s bottom, a flying cow or a can of killer tomatoes, each of his books has a very silly special ingredient.

Born in 1949, Jeremy Strong has spent most of his life in a dream. At the age of three he fell out of a first floor window and landed on his head. He was in hospital for a week, with a broken arm and a headache. Luckily he recovered, although he was always accident-prone as a child. He broke various bones and had stitches for big head cuts. This was because he spent most of his time out in the fields near his house playing. The ‘stitches score’ went something like this:
Riding a bike at a thousand miles an hour – five stitches.
Falling out of tall trees – four stitches.
Playing kiss-chase – three stitches.

At school he enjoyed playtime, lunchtime, and half past three. He also liked making things up and writing about them. He spent his teenage years writing poems for his girlfriend, Susan, until she gave in and married him.

After his eventful childhood he eventually became a primary school teacher, and is now a full time writer. He has written over 70 books, including the hugely popular Hundred Mile an Hour Dog books.
