Ice, a rare albino deer, is the unofficial leader of a community of woodland creatures. Rabbits, possums, squirrels, mice, foxes, and other animals turn to Ice to help with all manners of practical and moral conundrums. In Annie Laughter's debut picture book, The Albino Deer Series, Volume 1, children will see the natural world through the eyes of Ice and his friends, and learn some valuable lessons along the way.
When we first meet Ice, he earns his name by rescuing a drowning baby fox. Ice's bravery and intelligence lead the other animals to seek out his advice. From chapter to chapter, Ice and his friends learn lessons about morality, discrimination, safety, ecology, and natural disasters.
The Albino Deer Series, Volume 1, with its combination of poetic prose, engaging illustrations, and life lessons, is the perfect bedtime or read-aloud story. Teachers and parents alike will appreciate the advanced vocabulary words sprinkled throughout the book, and kids will love the imaginative world of talking animals. Like A. A. Milne's The World of Pooh, The Albino Deer Series, Volume 1 introduces characters and teaches lessons that will stay with children for a lifetime.
