Scruffle-Nut follows Olivia on a trip to the park with her Nanny Clementine, where she comes across a squirrel who doesn't fit in with the others, as they leave him out and steal his food. Olivia knows what it is like to be an outsider, so she is determined to help Scruffle-Nut. Their meeting is brief, but the episode stays with Oliva throughout her life.
The gentle, lyrical writing and soft, muted colour scheme make Scruffle-Nut a soothing story for the end of the day. It has a lovely, wintery feel so is great for reading under a blanket on a cold day.
Scruffle-Nut is written by Corinne Fenton and illustrated by Owen Swan
