This is a Pre-Order that ships mid-late October 2025.

From award-winning illustrator Esmé Shapiro and debut talent Kate Finney comes the story of Belladonna, a spunky, beautiful plant who must learn to survive— even though she can’t flee from those who want to devour her.

Everyone in the forest knows about Belladonna—that tall, beautiful plant whose berries are so delicious that they’re forever being gobbled up. Day after day, poor Belladonna is nibbled at until there’s almost nothing left of her. But unlike the animals who can leap, climb, or fly away, Belladonna is firmly rooted in place. So what’s a plant to do to survive?

This is the story of how Belladonna learns to harness her own powers to protect herself and her descendants, and how she learns from a great cast of plant and animal characters, that no one ever survives alone.

Comes with an exclusive mini-print featuring Belladonna and her forest companions!
