Skogsdjuren is a captivating and beautifully illustrated story about small animals and their big secrets. It explores themes such as climate impact, migration, new encounters, and the life stories of animals.

In the chaos, they meet an elderly, forgetful mouse with a treasure map that may lead them to the promised land, Stenkullen.
