What happens when an unexpected guest comes to visit? What if that guest moves in for a while? What do you feed 'em? How do you entertain 'em? And just suppose that the visitor is not a person but a white-tailed Deer named Maxi? Read Ruby's diary to find out all the answers!

"On any given day, a miracle of life and nature can touch our hearts and teach us lessons that can change our lives and fill our souls. With her diary, Ruby shares her life-changing interactions with Maxi and Mini. A simple story with easy characters and winsome animals, it is also a story of great love and wonder." –Denna Patterson, retired English department chair and teacher, Stow-Munroe Falls High School

"How delightful to see a new collaboration between the generations! What began as a friendship between two mothers has produced a literary and artistic partnership. Deer Diary reflects the talents of seasoned author Lauren Persons and the budding creativity of artist Lydia Whitehouse. Deer Diary will gladden the hearts of children and those who read to them." –Nancy Greissing, literature, history and literacy teacher
