A story about family, survival and the magic of diverse friendships, Pebbles on the Primrose Path is sure to enchant young readers and deer lovers of all ages.
Pebbles, a half-grown blacktail deer fawn, lives with her mother on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. Like many deer, Pebbles and Mother live on “the edge”, where a human neighborhood meets the evergreen forest. They spend their days browsing for food as Mother teaches Pebbles the lessons of deer survival. One day, Pebbles has a chance meeting with a woman named Primrose, a woman who may be a witch, a woman who offers Pebbles her favorite thing in the world: APPLES! Their meeting sparks a unique friendship, a friendship that will soon become a lifeline when Pebbles’ world is changed forever by a predator in the neighborhood.
Story inspired by a real-live blacktail deer (named "Pebbles" of course).
