Sometimes a new friend is just what you need to help you conquer your fears.

Mole has a comfortable and safe life in his burrow deep below ground. One day he is forced to venture out into the world, where the bright light overwhelms and intimidates him. Soon he is lost and frightened.

Night falls and just as Mole is feeling secure again, he senses another presence. Wolf is lost—and afraid of the dark. They decide to work together; Mole will keep Wolf company during the dark and Wolf will help Mole find his way home once day comes. As they pass the night together, these two strangers become fast friends and master their respective fears.

These endearing protagonists demonstrate how opposites can complement, strengthen, and support each other in a comforting story that explores fear and friendship.
