Squirrel Hugging His Big Acorn

A small squirrel squeezes a giant acorn with both paws, cheek pressed against its smooth shell. His eyes curve like happy moons and a tiny smile lifts his face. A fluffy tail curls into a swirl behind him. The acorn cap shows neat crisscross lines, waiting for rich, nutty color.

Maple leaves tumble around him, some wide and pointy, others little and light. They drift above and below like a leaf parade, filling the page with fall shapes. The quiet scene hints at Thanksgiving time, with a busy helper saving his tasty find.
