The Little Deer Friend

Lily enjoys visiting Grandma Rose's home beside a green meadow where bees and wildflowers thrive. One morning, she discovers a small deer with a reddish-brown coat and white spots among the daisies. Rather than chasing it, Lily sits quietly with her sketchbook and draws, and over days the deer gradually comes nearer. Grandma Rose teaches her that wild animals remain wild when given space, and that trust is built through patience, not by reaching out.

When a yellow truck appears and workers with clipboards measure the meadow for a parking lot, Lily learns the deer's route to the forest is at risk. With Grandma Rose, she attends a volunteer meeting, discovers from Sam what a wildlife corridor is, and finds the courage to show her drawing to the town council. This gentle story, written by Jane MEADOW, follows Lily from quiet observation to confident action. It can be read on Kids Tale Book and is suitable for young readers and for adults reading aloud with them.
