Heartwarming stories of self-acceptance, friendship, and quiet courage along the riverbank — for young readers and the grown-ups who read with them.

## About the series

Miles is a young muskrat who feels different from the other muskrats in his riverbank village. Each story celebrates individuality, kindness, and connection — with themes that gently reflect traits associated with autism, without labels.

- **Self-acceptance** — Miles learns that what makes him different is his special spark.
- **Friendship & belonging** — New neighbors, new friends — and room for every kind of heart.
- **Read-aloud ready** — Short, warm picture books for bedtime, classrooms, and couch cuddles.
