Fox

The first thing I noticed when I opened the book were the colors. They reminded me of an old canvas painting which gave me a relaxing, protective feeling while reading. The book is about a baby fox, who is guided by his parents through the forest. They teach him how to find food, and when to stay away from danger. This baby fox is eager to explore and constantly asking his parents when he'll be ready to go out on his own.

The colors take you through the seasons. The seasons changing represent changes the fox undergoes from a completely dependent babe, to a young independent fox. The role of the parents represent the circle of life. They offered protection and shielded their young fox from danger for several seasons. But, when the time came, they willingly allowed him to go out into the world comforted by the fact that what they taught him would last a lifetime.
