Leo is a member of a family of flying squirrel trapeze artists. He is small for his age and has a crooked paw which makes being an acrobat difficult at times. In the grand final show of the season, he loses his grip and falls off the trapeze, ruining the show. Everyone is angry at him so he runs away. He hopes his family will come after him, and when they don’t, he wanders away into the forest where he becomes lost. Eventually he finds a door in a tree. It leads to the underground home of a near-sighted mole couple who kindly take him in.
Winter is fast approaching, so Leo must stay with the couple in their wonderfully cozy burrow. They feed and clothe him and offer him a comfortable bed. Over the winter months he learns valuable truths about himself and about others.
