Lumi and the Castaway
✨ By Best-Selling & Award-Winning Author L.S. Franco ✨
When a frightened hedgehog named Thistle washes ashore in the Arctic, chaos erupts. Thistle yells, breaks things, and keeps everyone at a distance, too scared and lost to trust anyone.
As much as he shouts and stomps to keep others away, Lumi and his friends patiently find ways to show him they care, respecting his time and feelings every step of the way.
A gentle story about fear, belonging, and the power of kindness, patience, and persistence.
