Which Cozy Critter Are You? (+ A Valentine Giveaway!)

Do you ever feel like there’s a woodland version of you — sipping tea in a storybook cottage, wearing a cozy scarf, maybe carrying a little satchel of acorns and ideas?

At Thistle Fox Books, we call that your Cozy Critter alter ego — the gentle, whimsical version of you brought to life with soft textures, warm colors, and a sprinkle of forest folklore.

💌 And this Valentine’s Day… you could win one!

Enter your email below and you could win a free custom Cozy Critter Portrait + heartwarming backstory, handcrafted just for you.

As a thank-you, we’ll also send you a sweet set of printable Valentine’s coloring pages to enjoy right away.

🦊 Spot Your Critter Twin!

Take a peek at our Cozy Critter Portrait Wall — do you see a character that feels just like you?

Maybe you’re a:

• Joyful Songtail, who always hums a tune and carries a cinnamon bun in their satchel?

• Thoughtful Tinker, who collects old buttons and forest treasures?

• Moonlight Dreamer, who lives for quiet evenings with books and tea?

You don’t need a full quiz to join the fun — just imagine your answers to these cozy questions:

1. What animal do you feel most like? (Fox? Owl? Hedgehog? Deer?)

2. What’s something cozy you always carry?

3. What colors feel most like you?

4. What kind of place would your critter call home?

🌿 Now you’re one step closer to discovering your storybook self!

🎨 Meet the Cozy Team Behind the Scenes

While our authors craft the tales, a small but mighty creative team works quietly behind the trees — capturing moments, answering letters, and keeping the forest full of cozy.

And yes — they have critter alter egos too.

These are the woodland versions of our behind-the-scenes team — each one with a soft felt coat, a gentle skill, and a heart full of storybook spirit:

🦊 Emily – The Sketchfox

With a clipboard of flower doodles and a mug of tea nearby, she quietly sketches cozy characters and writes our blog posts and little woodland stories.

📸 Sophie – The Lensfox

Camera always in paw, she captures every critter portrait and magical video moment. She helps your Cozy Critter come to life in the softest light.

💌 Rachel – The Social Whisker

With a satchel full of social sparkle, she’s the one answering emails, sharing forest updates, and keeping the cozy flowing on Instagram and beyond.

We're a tiny team of moms, makers, and animal lovers — and we’re so grateful to help bring a little more heart and imagination into the world.
