Tuna, a quirky, pack rat squirrel, lives with her husband, Bubble, in a little room under the eaves of the old brick building just outside Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York. One day, after feeling a knot of acrobats dancing in her tummy, Tuna gives birth to six babies-and soon discovers that one of her babies is not like the others. Brooklyn is purple! The Two-Leg world is a dangerous place, where Brooklyn and his siblings must learn how to survive. As he embarks on expeditions in Prospect Park and listens to lectures about Two-Legs, Brooklyn becomes more independent. He is thrilled when he receives an invitation to attend the park's annual spring celebration-but when Brooklyn is spotted, a hunt for the rare purple squirrel begins. Brooklyn the Squirrel is a tale for children of all ages that proves that being different is not so bad after all.
