This is the first book of a series to be published by Wildlife Educators Publishing, an adjunct to Wildlife Educators Coalition, an all volunteer organization which introduces children of all ages to a variety of live, exotic animals and uses this exciting experience to raise awareness about a number of issues. This book is a fable featuring some of the animals belonging to WEC. A small fox is raised by rabbits and believes he is a rabbit. As he grows up, he notices significant differences between himself and his family. He is puzzled and a little frightened, wondering if he really belongs. Is there something "wrong" with him or is he just a different kind of rabbit? He and his oldest brother travel across Africa to find answers. They encounter many different kinds of animals but no "rabbits" who look like him. Of course, he does find his place and finds there is nothing wrong with him at all. He is a different kind of animal altogether, but it's OK. Love is not limited by "sameness" or differences. Besides a great story and wonderful photography, extra features include: Biographies of all the animals from WEC who appear in the story. Information with pictures about other kinds of foxes This is a book for fun with the extra value of being a serious educational tool.
