"'What is this new little critter in my house?! He was acting confused. He was wondering why we were now giving all of our kisses to the baby," said Kerns.

This is the same storyline for the book where Jackson is portrayed by Harlow, a beloved hedgehog, who is confused why he isn't getting as much affection from his mommy and daddy fox.

"The beauty of this story is that it is about blended families in general. Traditional, adopted - it really shows the love and support your parents have for you no matter who you are," said Kerns.
