Hayward’s Unexpected Adventure

On Friday, the 6th of May we had a lovely visit from Kate Kelly, the author of the wonderful new book ‘Hayward’s Unexpected Adventure”.

We were fascinated as Kate told us all about hedgehogs and how they survive in the wild.

We were amazed to discover that the story itself is inspired by a real hedgehog who lives in a hedgerow in Kate’s garden!

We cannot wait to find out more about Hayward!
