Brandon [Large Print]

By Barbara Druding

Brandon is a curious young forest ranger in training who loves exploring the natural world and learning how everything in the forest works together. Along his journey, he meets Milo, a shy raccoon who prefers to stay hidden and isn't sure where he belongs.

When the two set off together, they discover an important problem-flowers in the forest are not being pollinated, and the balance of nature is at risk. With the help of busy bees and a colorful hummingbird named Ruby, Brandon and Milo learn how pollination works and why it is essential for plants, animals, and the entire ecosystem.

At first, Milo doubts himself. He worries that he isn't brave enough or capable enough to help. But as he begins to take small steps and lend a hand, he discovers that even the smallest actions can make a meaningful difference. Through patience, kindness, and encouragement, Milo starts to understand that being quiet and thoughtful is not a weakness-it is a strength.

This heartwarming and educational story introduces young readers to the importance of pollination and caring for the environment, while also exploring themes of self-confidence, belonging, and personal growth. With engaging characters and beautifully illustrated scenes, Brandon: Forest Ranger in Training encourages children to believe in themselves, embrace who they are, and understand that everyone has a role to play in the world around them.

Perfect for ages 6-10, this story blends gentle life lessons with an introduction to nature and science in a way that is both meaningful and easy to understand.
