Willow is a woodland squirrel who wakes up feeling anxious on the day of her birthday party. The noise, the busyness and being the centre of attention makes her want to stay in her cosy bed high up in her treehouse. But along comes a mystical, magical, shapeshifting owl who helps her navigate her worries throughout the day to build her inner strength and self belief.
