Yuna and Mr. Chestnuts Adventure

by Heidi Torres

Yuna has pears to share and a picnic place picked out for her pet squirrel, Mr. Chestnut. There’s just one small problem: the seats she offers don’t seem to suit him. A squashy cloth mound wobbles beneath his paws, and a flat spot on the grass turns into a flapping commotion. When Mr. Chestnut trots toward a place Yuna hasn’t tried, she follows, hoping their picnic can still bring them together.

For Yuna, the challenge is more than finding a steady place to sit. She wants her little companion beside her, but he has his own ideas about where he feels comfortable. With busy paws, bouncy movement, and lively sounds, their garden outing becomes a gentle story about noticing what someone else needs—and making room for two different ways to enjoy the same picnic.

Yuna and Mr. Chestnuts Adventure is a warm read-aloud for preschoolers, with playful details to enjoy together and a tender reminder that companionship can begin with a little patience.

Yuna patted a place beside her.
She bunched the cloth into a squashy seat. “Try this!” Mr. Chestnut stepped up. The cloth tipped; his tail waved.
Boing, he bounced back onto the porch!
