The Little Raccoon is Confident

A picture book for children aged two and over

The Little Raccoon is not sure, is he really ok? Are his paws not much smaller than most of the other animals in the forest? And are his legs much too short? When he sees how his friend, the fawn, quickly jumps around on his long legs, he becomes very sad. All the animals in the forest school will laugh at him. “You are perfect, just as you are,” Mama Raccoon comforts him.

 

“Your eyes can see much better than the fawn and your fur is snuggly and warm, even when it is really cold outside. God had his plans when he made you exactly as you are! And me too, I love you very much!”
