Celebrate the arrival of Spring with this picture book that follows a small field mouse as she rallies the larger woodland animals

to join her on a journey up a hill, sensing that something is about to happen at the top.... What could it be?!

When Field Mouse wakes from her nap, the air is no longer chilly, and she feels like there's something has changed. Something is out there, calling to her.... Something is on the Hill.

She spots her friend, Squirrel. ""Help me find the Something,"" Mouse tells him. And so the two scamper through a clearing. Soon, they spot Doe. ""Where are you hurrying today?"" Doe asks them. ""We're going to the Hill,"" says Mouse.

And so it goes, as Turtle, the Ducks, and the Bears join the group, all making their way to the Something on the Hill. As they climb to the tippy-top, this parade of animals will discover just what that Something is- a leaf shoot, tiny and green.

Just in time for spring comes this delightful picture book--perfect for storytime--that reminds us that the smallest of things can matter just as much as the big ones.

Reviews for Something on the Hill

★ ""The rural settings are rendered with the softness of pastels, lots of texture, and beautiful earth tones…. text flows with equal charm as the critters interact; the scenes work perfectly with the illustrations to build suspense for the big reveal."" —School Library Journal, starred review ""A jubilant tribute to creaturely instincts as well as bonds that endure seasonal transitions."" —Publishers Weekly ""A simple, engaging appreciation of all things spring."" —Kirkus Reviews
