Book-by-Book Guide:
One Snowy Night
On a bitterly cold evening, Percy notices his animal friends are not just hungry but longing for warmth and safety. He welcomes them into Percy's hut and, with practical care and quiet leadership, plans a way to keep everyone sheltered as the world outside turns white.

After the Storm
The park endures a fierce storm, and the morning after reveals the damage: an old oak tree lies blown down, leaving many animals displaced. Percy models calm, methodical problem-solving as he repurposes what’s fallen to build new homes and routes for his friends. The narrative emphasizes resilience, cooperation, and the idea that setbacks can become opportunities to help others. Sweet, reassuring artwork reinforces the message that thoughtful action and community support can restore balance after a crisis.

Young readers witness the power of care in a simple rescue, alongside the everyday joys of shared moments in Percy's park.
