Inside the Book
Four stories for little heroes
Gentle stories about illness, injury, hospital experiences, fear, friendship, resilience, and recovery.
Hedgie’s Brave Day
After Hedgie breaks his paw, he discovers new ways to play and learns how hugs, kind words, and caring friends can make hard days easier.
The Hospital Adventure: When Others Have Big Feelings
At the children’s hospital, Yan and Hedgie meet other young patients and discover that kindness can make an unfamiliar place feel more like home.
Noah the Little Otter and the River That Wouldn't Stop Flowing
When Noah faces the biggest river of his life, he discovers that even the strongest currents can be crossed with courage, hope, and helping paws.
Being sick can feel scary, especially when you’re little and don’t understand what is happening to your body.
In Yan the Little Squirrel: Little Heroes, Brave Together, Yan, his best friend Hedgie, and a brave little otter Noah discover that courage doesn’t mean never being afraid. Sometimes courage means asking a question, holding someone’s paw, trying something a new way, or simply taking the next small step.
Along with comforting stories for children, this book includes practical tips for parents and caregivers: how to ease fear, make hospital waits and stays a little easier, support children through pain and uncertainty, and care for themselves when worry takes over.

Because even the smallest heroes can do brave things.
