Tilly A Deer's Tale...a heartfelt "true" story

I read this book and it is about a deer who was all alone...Tilly was rescued, cared for, and found comfort in her new friends at her new home, a barn with many friendly animals. Even as she suffered a serious leg injury, her animal friends at the barn waited for her and stood by her. Ultimately, regardless of her leg injury, Tilly showed the strength to help other baby deer who were later rescued and brought to the barn, just as she was. This is a very heartfelt story about animals and people who care about animals. It shows how a little "kindness" can give so much "strength."

Based on a true story, Tilly...A Deer's Tale by Lee Manning-Vogelstein, Elizabeth Walker and Kristin Currid is the story of a young deer rescued from a river and raised on a farm, who is gradually prepared for release into the wild. Tilly... A Deer's Tale emphasizes respect for living things, and sees the world through the wide eyes of animals learning to grow up and fend for themselves, and teach others to do the same. Gentle, realistic color illustrations bring this heartwarming story to life. Highly recommended. A portion of the proceeds for Tilly... A Deer's Tale will be donated by the author to local animal rescue efforts.

An Acceptance Tale

I love the fact that this story teaches kids to be accepting of others with disabilities and to be compassionate. My daughters loved the book. With everything kids have to deal with today in schools I'm glad there are books like this one with a positive message.
