I love the creative textured text art she sprinkles throughout, too. The eyes of the fawn and child say so much-they’re gorgeous and expressive. I wanted to leap into the world and snuggle the adorable fawn. The text is beautiful and the illustrations are beyond stunning. It is a book with resonance for all children, especially those whose safety is threatened due to the immigration crisis in the US.
Yuyi Morales’ first book since her New York Times bestseller Dreamers is a book for very young children looking for their place in a world full of uncertainty. A gentle but empowering voice encourages her to face her fears when she comes across an obstacle in the form of an insurmountable barrier.
Told with a combination of powerful, spare language and sumptuous and complex imagery that is typical of Yuyi Morales’s work, this is the story of a fawn making her way through a border landscape teaming with flora and fauna native to the region. From the creator of the New York Times bestseller Dreamers comes a beautiful story about growth, empowerment, and finding one’s own voice.
