Fantasy book about a squirrel who gets hit by a meteor, turns purple, and magically learns how to read

I read this book sometime between 2015 and 2017 but I'm not sure when it was published. The book was told from the POV of a squirrel, who, upon getting hit by a glowing meteor that kills two humans turns purple and learns to read human language. The Turkish translation was somewhere about 170-300 pages. The cover featured a purple squirrel with glasses.

Extra plot details: The meteor had magic, and was sought after by humans. Humans were also invading the forest but they didn't play too huge of a role (i.e as individual characters). Side characters included a deer, another squirrel, a hedghehog, and I *think* a badger or something like that.

The book literally started with the meteor striking two humans, one of whom had a pickaxe, and completely deleted them from existance (I think a shirt remained). Then the squirrel thinks he'll die but he turns purple. He was also lowkey a mean bitch.

I think the reading grade and intended audience was middleschool level.

I've been searching for this book since 2020 and Google is of no help, if anyone has any leads, I'd love to hear it.
