FOUR PAWS PRESS ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF
LUCY AND THE SQUIRREL: SUMMER
The Beloved Seasonal Adventure Series Continues with a Warm Story of Friendship, Play, and Summer Wonder
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI — Four Paws Press is pleased to announce the release of Lucy and the Squirrel: Summer, the fourth book in the heartwarming Lucy and the Squirrel children's picture book series.
Written for children ages 3-7 and their families, Lucy and the Squirrel: Summer follows Lucy, a curious little Yorkshire Terrier, as she enjoys a bright summer day in her backyard. What begins as a quiet morning soon turns into an adventure filled with sunshine, sprinklers, playful chases, and the return of her squirrel friend, Sammy.
Beautifully illustrated in a classic watercolor style, the story captures the simple joys of summer while celebrating friendship, curiosity, and the special moments that can be found close to home.
"Summer is often a season of motion and excitement," says author Daniel Schrader. "This story focuses on the small moments that children notice so naturally—the warmth of the sun, the cool splash of water, and the comfort of spending time with a good friend."
Like the previous books in the series, Lucy and the Squirrel: Summer is designed to be a comforting read-aloud experience, making it ideal for bedtime, classroom reading, grandparents, and family story time.
With the publication of Summer, readers can now enjoy Lucy's adventures through all four seasons.
