Little Fox and the Wild Imagination is a loving look at the power of imagination and what happens when we lead our kids with love.” —Maya Rudolph

Little Fox and the Wild Imagination had me at 'Pfffffft!' It's a gorgeous, epic adventure that's fueled by shared imagining born out of love. It has obstacles and struggles, as an epic must. It's exciting, seriously good-hearted, and very funny—words and pictures both. And maybe best of all (spoiler alert) its penultimate scene features 5,000 books!” —Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America

“Santat continues to be a master at balance and composition . . . Parents looking to cheer a moody kid up will find inspiration and a word of caution here.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
