Publisher's Synopsis
A hero is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities." The word itself holds various meanings for different people. Our heroes tend to change with our age and life experiences. Heroes might start as superheroes, like Superman or Batman, sports stars, musicians, and even actors and actresses. Then, one day we realize that we have been surrounded by our heroes. They take many different forms: parents, children, nurses, teachers, firefighters, volunteers, brothers and sisters, wives and friends. There are more options than I have room to put on this page. Cecilia Mae is a real little girl who won our hero contest with her wonderful ideas on how to save the forest. All of the ideas I received were amazing and they made me realize that we can all be heroes each day; we all have the tools to make the world a better place. All it takes to be a hero is a heart full of love, hands used to help, and a smile to light the way. The last time we saw the Snugglefink and friends they were on the run. The Plaid Bearded Men tore up every space they could find with their spinning blades and their rockagrind. The home of the Snugglefink and friends, Foggitytree, was destroyed. The animals of Foggitytree escaped, but they found themselves in an unfamiliar place. Surrounded by fast cars, houses, litter, and very few trees, they needed to find a new home where they could run and play. That's when a little girl named Cecilia came along and changed all of their lives forever! We can all learn a valuable lesson from Cecilia. Even though we are all different, we can work together and make this world a better place.
