This book is about badgers, an animal that most children are familiar with - but that they may not know much about.

Synnøve Borge introduces the animal by telling the story of a badger over the course of a year. This gives readers a peek into its everyday life and some of the challenges the animal faces. The badger cub is raised by its mother and father. Soon it is able to find earthworms, brown snails and wasps. It even manages to catch some nimble ground beetles. But the thing the badger cub is best at is playing with his family and sleeping away the cold winter months.

In addition to the ongoing factual narrative, there is a large and detailed spread at the back of the book with more condensed facts.

The book is written for children from five to eight years, for reading aloud, but also for the oldest in the target group to read a little by themselves.

Alongside Lise Myhre, Synnøve Borge has previously published six books about animals for slightly older children, and the book Squirrel with Nora Brech as illustrator.

Nora Brech has previously illustrated Forest of Wolves (2019) and was nominated for the Brage Prize 2019 for her illustrations in Buffy By is Gifted.
