Squirrel’s Sleepy Leafy Hideaway

Tucked deep inside a cozy tree, a tiny squirrel curls up in a round nest of crunchy leaves. Her head rests gently on her paws, fuzzy tail wrapped snug over her back like a soft, leafy blanket. The sunlight peeks through the hollow, shining on her velvety ears and sweet, peaceful nose as she snoozes.

All around, leaves layer the nest, squiggly and full of hidden shapes to explore with color. The rough bark of the tree stretches high and low, hugging the squirrel safe. Nestled tight in her wooden home, she dreams happily while the forest stays quiet outside.
