"Una cervatilla se adentra en el mundo por primera vez con pasos inciertos. Respira profundo y experimenta nuevas visiones y sonidos mientras una dulce voz la anima a lo largo del camino. Ella observa y escucha, a medida que explora el paisaje lleno de vida de la frontera, y aprende a hacerse oir cuando se enfrenta a una barrera al parecer infranqueable."--
