Gently, Little Fox: An Eli & Ember Story
Some things can only be opened gently.
The autumn Ember turned one was the loudest autumn the Hollow had ever known.
He is a young fox with his chin up and his heart wide open, and he means every bit of it - which is the whole trouble. He thinks loud is friendly. He thinks fast is eager. He thinks that if you mean well, everyone can tell.
Then he comes crashing down the leaf-covered slope one cold October afternoon and finds a creature he has never seen before in his life - and she folds herself into a ball of brown spines and will not come out.
Her name is Thistle. The first frost is a night or two away. And everything Ember tries - louder, closer, harder - only makes the ball tighter.
A little way off, Eli stands with his hands in his pockets and says nothing at all, the way a person stands when they have already told you everything they know and the rest of it is yours.
Gently, Little Fox is the second Eli & Ember story - a warm, funny, read-aloud chapter book for children ages 6 to 9, illustrated in full color throughout, and closing on a single verse of Scripture.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. - Proverbs 15:1 (NKJV)
An Eli & Ember Story - Book Two - Ages 6-9
