    About this ebook

    What can you do when you are a tiny hedgehog, and your parents keep telling you to roll into a ball and defend your life with your spikes? So much worry and constantly having to hide from danger leaves you with no fun, no play and no friends. Or does it?
    Hank Hedgehog lives in a beautiful forest surrounded with all sorts of animals, both dangerous and friendly. His parents love him so much that they try, perhaps a little too much, to protect him from harm. Eventually, Hank starts hating his spikes and becomes very lonely. However, all good families have problems – once they talk them out, and with a little bit of help from their friends, the world can be a wonderful, fun and exciting place again!
    (The book contains simple illustrations and questions to help both children and adults enjoy themselves but also to use the story to talk more, develop empathy and problem solving skills.)
