\"Hope<\/a><\/div>\n

In a new children\u2019s picture book, HOPE and FRECKLES, Fleeing to a Better Fores<\/em><\/span>t, published in 2020 by Mascot Books, author Bill Kiley writes about a white-tailed mother deer named Hope, and her fawn, Freckles, who journey from their dangerous home of Olden Forest, to the safety of Big Pine Forest.<\/p>\n

While the tale relies heavily on the plight of today\u2019s refugees and asylum seekers fleeing to the United States of America (trauma and conditions that most American-born children and adults will never experience), the illustrations\u2019 likable characters throughout the twenty-seven pages by artist Mary Manning, soften an underlying theme: Scary governments exist in many of today\u2019s third-world nations. Parents and educators may want to read the book for themselves before introducing this kind of plot to children, due to their individual personalities.<\/p>\n

HOPE and FRECKLES, Fleeing to a Better Forest<\/span><\/em>, planned as a book series, carves a genre that seems to be one-of-a-kind, a sort of \u201cPolitical and Educational Children\u2019s Picture Book\u201d, validated as such with its postface page of \u201cUseful Definitions for Young Readers\u201d, \u201cResources for Parents and Educators\u201d, and \u201cQuestions for Discussions\u201d.\u00a0 Mr. Kiley\u2019s\u00a0 professionalism, awards, and peace-making career in the USA and abroad, pour authenticity into this book, one that imparts a sense of strong family bonds, bravery, and HOPE.<\/p>\n
