Hershey the Raccoon

When a tiny raccoon is found all alone in the quiet forest, a young boy named Tony steps in to help. With a warm towel, a soft shoebox bed, and a whole lot of love, he nurses the little raccoon-now named Hershey-back to health.

As Hershey grows stronger, he explores his new world, plays with Tony's dog, and discovers what it means to be brave. But when the time comes, Tony must make the hardest choice of all: letting Hershey return to the wild where he truly belongs.

Told with gentle emotion and watercolor warmth, Hershey the Raccoon reminds young readers that love means caring, helping others grow, and knowing when to let go. Each page ends with a thoughtful "Hershey Says" question, inspiring heart-to-heart moments between children and grown-ups about kindness, courage, and compassion.
