Publisher Description

Join Quill the hedgehog on a bedtime adventure to rediscover the magic of quiet moments.

"Long, long ago it was so busy.
Nobody had time to stop for a moment.
Everything and everyone had to be higher, faster,
further, bigger, prettier, more!"

Thus begins Grandpa Hedgehog's story of the Rush Era. A time not so different from our own, where everyone was constantly on the move and no one had time to stop for a moment, even to care for the forest. Everyone except for a tiny hero named Quill. Can this gentle soul teach the rushing world to stop and smell the flowers before it's too late? Dive into Quill the Forest Keeper, a captivating bedtime story from Marije Tolman, translated by David Colmer, and rediscover the magic of quiet moments.

Quill the Forest Keeper Reviews

3.5
“Everyone was always busy…the hedgehog kept things clean but was overwhelmed by never ending trash…he got a golden rake and a title…so what was the point? What is a kid (or anyone) supposed to get out of this book? I listened to audio and narrator was good, so points there. Plus illustration style was comforting”
“Loved the artwork”
“Interesting illustrations, eco-minded story. Not enough structure to the plot”
