BOSTON (WHDH) - Julian Edelman read his new children’s book, “Flying High,” to children at a toy drive in Boston on Wednesday night.

The book follows a pint-sized, football playing squirrel named Jewels, and features characters that may seem familiar to Pats fans.

One character is a wise, but stern owl; Bill the coach.

The toy drive provides gifts for more than 18,000 children in need this holiday season.
