Căprioara

The doe isn't running from you. She just doesn't know you yet. And if you stay still, patiently, she will look at you. And she will show you what she sees — a brook you hadn't noticed, a leaf that falls differently, a sound you had missed.

This book is about the quiet of the forest and about how you learn, slowly, to listen. About how wild animals aren't to be fed from our hand, but respected from a distance.

It is also about how a doe can be a friend — not through touch, but through recognition. And if you have ever seen a doe looking at you, you know exactly what I mean.
