A little girl is always missing out on the wonderful things her family gets to see and do, just because she is the youngest and smallest. She misses seeing shooting stars because she goes to bed too early; she can' t pick the first apple of autumn because she' s too short; and, this morning, everyone else got to see a deer. . . except her. Just when she' s about to give up, she spots a fawn, beautiful, quiet and small. . . just like her. The Secret Fawn beautifully captures the power of nature to inspire children and shows how connecting with animals can help kids who feel left out or overlooked.
"Sweet and pretty for bedtime or naptime -- and validating to little ones all the time. " --STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "In this quietly resplendent picture book, a younger sibling who has missed out on seeing a deer sets off alone in search of one. " --Shelf Awareness
