The TRUE Adventures of Nut The Amazing Chipmunk

A children's book about the TRUE adventures of Nut, a chipmunk that was rescued from the wild and brought up in captivity. Nut was then released back into the wild and now comes to visit his rescuers everyday in their backyard. The message is to value all life, even the smallest of lives.

Nut was found abandoned in our backyard. His eyes were closed and ears still pressed down. He was so tiny and helpless. I had to help! I took him in, got him warm and started to feed him a bottle. Soon his eyes opened, he was growing and thriving. We eventually put him in a cage, where he could run around and play. We would take him out and he would run all over us. He loved to sleep in my hair! We knew the day was coming where he had to be released back into the wild. It was a hard decision but I knew it had to be done. So we let him go but he came back that night! So every morning we would open the cage and he would run out and hagout in our yard all day but come back to his cage to sleep at night. One day he stayed out all night long, then the next night and the next. Until finally he just lived outside all the time. But he would come and see us every morning. He loved all kinds of nuts like almonds and walnuts. All summer and fall he came to see us everyday but we knew winter was coming. He eventually went into hibernation. We didnt see him for 4 months! Then one spring day he was back! He survived the long and cold winter. So continues the adventures of Nut!
