Sammy Salamander hatches into a vast, mysterious forest filled with insects and other creatures. Hungry, he learns to find food like worms and slugs while staying alert to dangers such as snakes, hawks, and raccoons. Using his camouflage and quick thinking, Sammy hides to survive. When curious humans come near, he wishes they'd respect his delicate skin and natural home by leaving him alone. Through changing seasons, Sammy adapts-finding shelter in winter, enjoying abundant food in spring, and avoiding predators in summer. Growing older, he understands the forest's rhythms and hopes others will appreciate the importance of giving wild animals space and care. Sammy's story reminds us to respect nature and the creatures living quietly around us.
