A Kirkus Best Picture Book of 2020, Little Fox is a stunning visual journey that captures the wonder and worry of growing up. This gorgeously illustrated tale follows a spirited young fox as he explores his world—chasing butterflies, foraging for meals, and seeking companionship—all while his father’s cautionary words echo in his ears about the dangers that lurk beyond their den.
When Little Fox takes an unexpected tumble and bumps his head, he drifts into a dreamscape where beauty and fear intertwine. It’s in this liminal space between waking and sleeping that he begins to process the complexities of his world, learning that curiosity and caution can coexist.
What makes this picture book truly special is Marije Tolman’s innovative illustration technique. The cheerful, bright orange fox practically leaps off pages rendered in dreamy, grainy mixed media landscapes of blue and green. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) calls it “A beautiful, fully realized dreamscape,” and the cinematic quality of the artwork creates an immersive experience that feels both like watching a film and tumbling through a dream yourself.
Perfect for young readers navigating new experiences and the sometimes-scary process of growing up, Little Fox offers reassurance that it’s okay to be both cautious and curious. When Little Fox awakens from his dream, he carries forward a touch more wisdom—but thankfully, all of his wonder remains intact.
A treasure for your shelf that rewards repeated readings and lingering over each luminous page.
