Bur and the Squirrel Who Waited
Bur was a chestnut who hid his soft self inside a spiky shell, certain no one could love something so prickly. A gentle bedtime story about the fear of being seen, a patient squirrel who simply waited, and the warmth found once he finally opened. For every little one afraid to show their soft side.

Bur hid his soft self inside spikes. Other chestnuts opened, joining the forest floor. Bur stayed shut tight, watching them from inside.
One day, a small creature crept closer, curious. Bur flinched shut, and the creature scurried off. He feared no one could love him.
He rolled away and hid under fallen leaves. Cold rain fell, and autumn slowly turned colder. A gentle squirrel found him under the leaves.
A gentle squirrel waited for him to open. Slowly, his spiky shell eased open a crack. Inside, his soft brown self caught the light.
Bur was finally warm and loved.
