Toaff is a small gray squirrel full of big questions. Why must I stay away from the human's house? Why shouldn't I go beyond the pine trees? Why do we fight with the red squirrels across the drive? His sister shrugs, his brother scoffs, and his mother scolds --that's just the way it is. But Toaff knows there must be more. So before he can think too hard...he LEAPS! He discovers a world filled with danger - from foxes and cats and cars. But it's also a world of delight - from the dizzying scent of apple blossoms, the silvery sound of singing, and the joy of jumping so far you're really flying. -- From the publisher.
