Deep in the forest, in the hollow of an old gnarled oak tree, lives Boris, a lonely little bat. Boris is desperate to make friends, but when the other animals see his shadow at their window, they are terrified and think he is a monster.

Back in his cozy home, Boris bakes cakes, pies and buns for visitors who, alas, never come. One autumn day, a brave little bear wanders into the forest, attracted by the smell of Boris's pastries, changing our little bat's life forever.

This beautifully illustrated picture book about the healing power of friendship warms the heart and proves that you shouldn't always trust your first impression.
