He shared a small enclosure with another fox, Unelma (Finnish for "dream"). Every night, Otto loved to sleep on a high perch inside a wooden hut. He seemed healthy, lively, and playful. However, the marks left by his time on the farm were profound. Otto is the inspiration for the mother fox in this story, and they are among the very few fortunate foxes! In reality, it is incredibly difficult for fur animals to escape from farms. They spend their entire lives in small cages, with no opportunity to express their natural behaviors or develop survival skills. Farms also use traps to recapture any animals that manage to escape. Love Means Letting Go The inspiration for the little fox in this storybook came from a white fox cub I encountered in Beijing. Lost on a busy city street, a kind man found it. He thought it was a puppy, but its face was too pointed. A kitten, perhaps? Not quite... He took it to a veterinary hospital, where they discovered it was a baby arctic fox. Its cries were high-pitched and weak, as if calling for its family. The city streets were bustling with traffic, and leaving it there would have put it at risk of being hit by a car. We didn't know how to care for a fox cub. But if we released it into the countryside, could it survive on its own? 𓃥 Product Specifications Premium Ivory Cardboard 350P 11 x 18 cm 𓃥 International Awards 🏆 3x3 International Illustration Show No.19 Honorable Mention (Children's Book category) 🏆 JIA Illustration Award 2022 Bronze Award
