What Will You Do, My Deer?

Disclosure: I received this book for review purposes only. Information provided and shared with permission. Any opinions are my own.

In the newest book release from Kathryn Hast, What Will You Do, My Deer? explores the possibilities for not just “becoming something,” but also, for doing something good. The story begins with Mama Deer reading at bedtime, musing over what experiences her young one may find.

With a nod to both career exploration and the pursuit of adventure, the tender tale goes on to reflect on growth and development and no matter what our children choose to become, may they stay "curious and kind".

This lovely quiet rhyming book inspires wonder, invokes progress, and reminds us all to grow with love.

The author, a mother of two young children, wrote the children’s book in one sitting, after a frustrating day at work. Teaming up again with the ever-talented illustrator, L.M. Phang, Hast’s third release is a bit divergent from her first two works. While familiar illustrations from Otis Grows and Batty Betty are peppered throughout, What Will You Do, My Deer? shines the spotlight on the reader, encouraging questions, imagination, and dreams.

“It dawned on me when I was writing it—in a hotel room after a terrible conference—that the question of ‘What will I be when I grow up?’ is omnipresent for all of us,” Hast says, “And that the answer ultimately is: It doesn’t matter.” What Will You Do, My Deer? is a kid’s book that reminds us all that it’s not about any one profession or career path; it’s about having the courage to be “curious and kind.”
