Tanna's Lemming follows young Tanna as she discovers a tiny, grey lemming she names Fluffi. Rather than handing Fluffi over for scientific study, Tanna decides to care for it as part of her family.

This tender story explores themes of kindness, responsibility, and understanding what it really means to care for another being.

"Stories have hearts, just like people. And the heart of this story is true, even if the things said or done have been switched around a bit."

In this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Tanna's Owl, Tanna finds a small, grey lemming, far too cute to turn over to the scientist who has sent the children out to gather lemmings for his research. Instead, Tanna deems Fluffi to be a family member and attempts to raise the lemming in her home.

But when the lemming strays from its cosy bed behind the stove and into Tanna's mother's things, Tanna is forced to consider whether she has really done what is best for Fluffi. Is it possible to treat something poorly by trying to treat it well?
