Book Cover & Preview Text
That morning, Squirlie and Maude were minding their own business and chatting as they rumbled along in the Parade when they heard a loud shriek and everything went topsy-turvy. They were thrown against the ceiling and landed upside down. Suddenly, the back door of the truck swung wide open. Dazed, they saw clear blue sky and green leafy trees. So, they did what any respectable squirrel would do. They ran!

About the Book
This book follows the historical adventures of two adorable white squirrels. A young squirrel named Swish invites the reader to listen in on Old Mr. Squirrel’s tale. We learn how the white squirrels came to this country from Thailand, how they escaped from an overturned carnival truck, and how they ended up establishing a thriving colony in North Carolina.
About the Author
Elizabeth Anne Scherer grew up in South Florida, spending much of her childhood outdoors. Many fun creatures were part of her everyday life at the beach—crabs, seagulls, pelicans, turtles, bunnies, and squirrels—and in the country—horses, dogs, cats, owls, chickens, and squirrels. Pursuing her interests, she studied biology and ecology at college. Nature and animals continue to be her passion today. Her stories are about the animals she came to know and love in her childhood. They are also reminiscent of the beloved bedtime stories told to her by her father.
