The foxes and their tricksy friends collect up all the sparks of joy and inspiration that flow out into the world as we dance, picnic, swim, play and tell stories in the warm summer days. They take the sparks and hide them around the world for others to find. Meanwhile Grandmother Badger watches over it all and sews what she sees.

The year turns, harvest approaches, and the longer night skies fill with stars. And sometimes, just sometimes, maybe once in a thousand lifetimes, the star you see when you look up is a Wishing Star, one that can hear a wish and make a dream come true. But once its work is done, who is it that completes the cycle and returns it to the heavens?

When a new fence is put up, Hedgehog is left trapped outside her garden. She uses the rubbish she collects to build a hot air balloon. However, her efforts lead her to drop in unexpectedly on the Water Voles, and Grandma Dandelion and Grandpa Burdoch must be creative in order to get her home.

The Water Vole family have moved into the bottom of the garden and, like modern-day Wombles, they care about their environment. The youngest of the family, Bertram doesn''t like swimming like other water voles but does love to sew and repair his family''s clothes. A gentle story about being true to your passions.
