What is The Wild Woods about?

During a woodland stroll, Jess spots a lively squirrel and wishes to keep it as a pet. Grandad explains that squirrels are wild creatures and belong in their natural habitat. As Jess follows the squirrel deeper into the forest, she encounters its wonders and realises that Grandad is right—the squirrel's true home is the wild woods.
