Book Cover & Preview Text
One of the young bucks that came to the meadow was different than the others. Oh, he definitely looked like a deer. He had a beautiful coat, broad shoulders, a thick strong neck, and large antlers with four sharp points on them. He had grown taller than the other bucks and his body and antlers were larger than any of the others. All the other deer admired him and the young bucks wished they could look just like him. It wasn’t because he was tall and strong that made him different, though. It was his behavior that really made him different. He got a lot of attention wherever he went because he was so tall and strong. All this attention embarrassed him. It made him feel shy. He didn’t always know how to act around the does and the other bucks his age.
