The great-granddaughter of Mother Nature teams up with a hedgehog to kick off the spring season in this first book of a charmingly fantastical chapter series by award-winning author Suzanne Selfors. Willow agrees to take care of the house while her grandmother, Mother Nature, is on vacation. She believes it will be as simple as watering a plant and feeding a cat, but when she arrives, she realizes that her grandmother has left a long list of chores with difficult tasks such as sweeping the wings of a family of owls, repairing broken windows in a rabbit greenhouse, and finishing winter. Eventually, if the ash does not melt, allowing the spring grass to grow, the little animals of the quiet forest will surely go hungry. With the help of Sam the Hedgehog and a deer prince, will Willow be able to catch the unruly North Wind to maintain the natural balance entrusted to her by her grandmother?
