Stumpy Makes Friends

FROM THE CREATORS OF STAND TALL LITTLE TWIG…

Follow the adventures of Stumpy, a squirrel born without a tail, as he makes life-long companions in his forest home. Although the other squirrels originally don’t like him because he’s different, Stumpy’s selfless acts of courage lead to acceptance and true friendship.

Inspired by a real-life squirrel, Stumpy Makes Friends is an excellent story of being a Good Samaritan, told in a way that children can understand. 

Meet Mary Ann Featherston and get a copy of their book at the 2026 Kentucky Book Festival, Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Joseph-Beth Booksellers.
