A lushly illustrated story about savouring the miracles of the every day, brought expertly to life by Vietnamese illustrators, Quang and Lien.

There was once a fawn, who thought that the sun was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. But when the sun set, the little fawn was sad and afraid. "Mother, where does the sun go?" he asked.


Follow one little fawn on his quest in search of the sun in this lushly illustrated tale. A lyrical story that's a joy to read aloud, this nature-inspired contemporary fable delivers a gentle warning against losing sight of the important things in life. With deft nods to mindfulness and magical realism, The Fawn Who Chased the Sun is a fable for our times and a modern-classic in the making.

This intricately-foiled paperback edition is a stunning gift to treasure and is perfect for lovers of The Fox and the Star, The Frost Goblin and Firefly.
