A somewhat possessive squirrel designates its property: ITS tree, ITS pine cones… And it will not share them, that’s for sure! On the contrary, it is determined to protect them, to the point of building a wall around ITS territory... What if there were even more beautiful trees, even better pine cones beyond the wall? The book portrays the absurd side of our instinct of property that doesn’t spare even the greatest rulers of our world! The squirrel's face expressions are irresistible. A strong and funny picture book that can be read aloud to children.
