Hope, a white-tailed deer, and her spotted fawn, Freckles, are facing hunger and danger in their forest.

When they arrive at a new forest, Hope and Freckles face unexpected challenges that will force them apart. Will they be reunited?

Let the tale of Hope and Freckles begin to teach you about the millions of people who face the same difficulties that this mother deer and her little boy face as refugees.
Advance Praise
"How does an author introduce young children to the plight of more than 25 million refugees around the world, i.e. without traumatizing the reader? In his Children's Picture book, Hope and Freckles: Fleeing to a Better Forest, author Bill Kiley achieves that goal. The book emphasizes both the oneness of all, the work of a single Creator, and a call to love thy neighbor, especially the stranger. What a wonderful way to being conversations about refugees."

Pamela D, Reviewer
Wow. This story really hits deep. It's brilliantly written. Hope & Freckles is a story of two deer immigrating to a safer land. It parallels the lives of so many people coming to the US. It's heartbreaking as an adult to read this because I get how it relates to our world. However, I still believe this tool is a great way to teach children compassion.
