Nacar, the White Deer:  A Story of Old Mexico by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino
ISBN  1-883937-91-4
Carol Bowling, St. Mary's

I have attached a study guide I wrote for students to use as they read the book.

This charming story of colonial Mexico, written by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino, is perfect for the Christmas season.  It tells the story of "the deep friendship between a boy...and an ailing albino deer sent from the Philippines as a gift for the King of Spain.  It is Lalo's task to nurture the sick deer back to health in the mountains of Mexico so that he will be well enough for the sea voyage to Spain."  In caring for the deer, Lalo encounters many dangers.  "Lalo grows in wisdom and courage as he comes to accept even the uncertainties and difficulties of the trust he has been given."  The book is deeply infused with Christian understandings.  It is a wonderful example of a book filled with the good, the beautiful, and the true.  The story is certain to greatly enlarge the world of any child.
