Bouncing Ball Books presents, The Misty Forest
Inspired by her grandson, Jarame’, LeMonde’ penned this young reader’s must-have story which takes you into the untamed forest where wild and undomesticated creatures challenge your every decision and open your eyes to their world.
With the ever-so-adorable spirit of Winnie the Pooh and the incredible talents of Dr. Doolittle, LeMonde’s main character, Running Deer, is a young Indian Brave who discovers that he has the gift of talking to animals. On a mission to help his mother gather berries, Running Deer strays from the path when it starts to rain. He takes shelter in a cave and discovers that the cave is already occupied - by Grumpy Bear.
Over the years, Running Deer meets many other inhabitants of the forest. He must show his strength of survival and pass his test of bravery in this coming of age story. Will he be able to overcome the challenges and make his family proud of him? Like Kipling’s, Jungle Book, this tale will embrace the whole family.
The Misty Forest offers young readers excitement and adventure and allows their creativity to flourish, while their hearts pound eager for Running Deer to tell the tale.
The Misty Forest can be found in bookstores everywhere. To read more about Stephanie LeMonde’ and learn about her upcoming author’s events, please visit www.bouncingballbooks.com
