Is the little child who narrates the book too little for any fun? This gentle tale goes straight to the heart of what upsets so many little ones: missing out on adventures because they are small and young. The beginning double-page spread shows three family members staring out over a full clothesline as the text reads: "This morning, Mama saw a deer. Dad and Sara saw it too." The narrator missed the sight while struggling to get dressed. The child recounts other examples of recently missed opportunities, then heads outside with a lump of sugar, hoping to lure the deer. Gorgeous, masterful art in MacKay's characteristic layered dioramas that combine drawn figures with cut, often diaphanous elements accompanies every page of spare but thoughtful text, as the child encounters other signs of nature--but no deer. When the narrator encounters the fawn of the title--"Little like me"--the two greet each other with their eyes before returning home to their respective mothers. The child looks about 3 years old and perhaps too young to be allowed a wilderness wander near protective animal mothers, but the soft and dreamy tone of the art and the text excuses the story from complete realism. The child's response to Mama's question at the end gives further empowerment to the child, who looks and listens while someone older reads this aloud. The family is an interracial one, with White-presenting father and Asian-presenting mother. (This book was reviewed digitally with 10-by-16-inch double-page spreads viewed at actual size.) Sweet and pretty for bedtime or naptime--and validating to little ones all the time. (Picture book. 3-5)

Preschool-Grade 2 Coming downstairs one morning, a little girl learns that a deer came near the house, and she missed it. "I always miss everything," she muses, ambling outdoors and silently looking for the deer. She spots a flash of brown- (a dog) and hears a rustling sound (a squirrel). After sitting quietly, she notices something in the bushes--a fawn that looks at her and blinks: "'Hello, ' we say with our eyes." She watches it rise on wobbly legs and leave to find its mother. The child returns to her mama, who asks whether she saw the deer. The girl shakes her head. She saw its fawn, and she's pleased to keep that moment to herself. It's pleasing to find a picture book in which a child's experience with the natural world is direct and personal. The words are few, but well chosen. MacKay creates unusual, luminous effects using inks, layers of cut papers, and lighting. Each composition draws the viewer to areas of the picture that have significance within the narrative. A beautiful, understated picture book.
