About the Book
Henrietta Hedgehog’s Prickly Problem
Written by Carole P. Roman
Illustrated by Mateya Arkova
Ages 3+ | 44 Pages
Publisher: Chelshire, Inc. | ISBN-13: 9781950080083
Publisher’s Book Summary: Henrietta Hedgehog is having a bad day.
She doesn’t want to go to school. When her mother questions her, Henrietta admits she doesn’t want to be a hedgehog anymore.
Henrietta’s quills make her feel unapproachable, and the other kids don’t want to be her friend.
Henrietta comes up with a plan to fit in but discovers that sometimes the most important person to accept you is yourself.
Join Henrietta and her critter companions as they learn that the things they might not like the most about themselves can be more important than they realize.
From the first page turn of the sprightly lemon-yellow cover, readers will likely be swept up in this relatable tale and become enamored by the sweetly illustrated Henrietta—pink, rosy cheeks and all.
