As he explores, he makes friends with a squirrel. The tale follows Rupert, the Yo-Chon, and Shadow Tail, the tree squirrel, through the four seasons of the year. The story also deals with the plight of the tree squirrels in suburban communities. Tree squirrels are facing a loss of habitat as trees and open space are being replaced by housing communities. Storms and natural disasters also contribute to the loss of the tree squirrel's habitat. These two animals meet other New Jersey animals during the year such as a crow, Canadian goose, cardinal, rabbit, and a whitetail deer.
