White Squirrels of Illinois
Blurs of white streaking across the grass or tucked into the branches of a tree. A plastic bag carelessly thrown away or tufts of insulation blowing in the breeze? The truth behind these mysterious sightings is pretty magical – it’s a family of White Squirrels.

“Did the squirrel realize how lucky he was to be there?

In the end, it depended on the comparisons the squirrel was able to make.” – François Lelord
