A little boy called Felix is looking out of his window.

Mum says it’s time for bed, but the moon smiling down at him from the night sky has another idea!

Felix is off, outside and into a wonderful adventure. His beloved white rabbit is along for the fun, never far from his side.

Oh oh, Felix has gone too far!

As he makes his way through Night, then Day, he asks along the way,

“Can you take me home?” 

He meets all manner of beasts and many kinds of Nature. They might not be able to answer his question, but each give him an amazing new experience, fill his tummy, or shelter him.

Every time without fail, he says,

“Thank you.”

He laughs, and plays and makes more friends, until finally finding his way home.

Simply gorgeous! This hardback picture book reminds me a little of “Are you my Mother?” with a sprinkle of “Where the Wild Things Are.“

The illustrations are exquisite, the art something I’d love on my wall. I can easily imagine a young child poring over the pictures while they follow Felix’s amazing adventure before bedtime.

A simple act of gratitude – saying Thank you, is shared with every animal or part of nature that helps Felix find his way home. 

The final page of the book shows the reader (or caregiver) all the ways they too can be thankful for Mother Nature. Daydream, collect treasures, make rainbows or wishes and try many more wonderful activities.

Loved it!
