Red Deer Press introduces its first Early Chapter Books that open new worlds for striving, independent readers, ages 7 - 9.
Red Deer's first Early Chapter Book, Tizzy and Me: Fifteen Ways to Love a Mink is a funny, endearing, and page-turning story of friendship and learning how to stand up for what you believe in.
On the first snowy day of school, seven-year-old Georgia is upset to discover that her best friend Winona is wearing a coat made with real fur. What comes next is a battle to help her friend understand and Georgia — with the comforting presence of her dog, Tizzy — must find a way to make things right. As the two girls learn more about animals that live in fur farms, they realize they must stand up for them — but how can they help the minks and make a difference?
