Sassafras

Published June 15, 2006

Sassafras is a charming picture book that tells the story of a little skunk who feels ashamed of his “smelly-old, stinky-old, funky-old” self.

But as he plays with his many woodland friends—each special and unique—Sassafras discovers he, too, has a rare and special gift all his own.
