The Boy and the Golden Hedgehog

In a village beside a large green forest, a curious boy named Oliver spends his time wandering the woods, gathering leaves and listening to the birds. On a misty morning he finds a small hedgehog curled under a fern, its spines shining with a soft golden light. Oliver calls the creature Pip, and the two follow a winding path through the trees, led by the warmth of that strange glow.

Along the way they meet a squirrel missing her acorns and a rabbit family who cannot cross a deep stream. Each time they stop to help, Pip's light becomes a little brighter, and Oliver starts to see that the glow is connected to kindness and friendship, not only to magic.
