The award list for the book also continues to grow. Lost in the Woods just earned its 11th award. "We just found out that we won the KIND award from the National Humane Society for 2006," Carl said. "We won this for our first book in 2004, and it really means a lot to us because it's for books that promote humane treatment for animals. That's the kind of message we want to teach with our books." In the movie, live video and lively, original music tell the springtime tale of a tiny fawn alone in the woods. The animals are concerned for the fawn because nobody has seen his mother for a long time. They worry that he may be lost. The tiny fawn, however, remembers his mother's words and knows that being alone in the woods is nature's way of keeping him safe. He is a newborn, born without a scent. If Mother Doe were to stay with him, her scent could attract predators to her babe. She will return to nurse and care for him but cannot stay with him. "Lots of fawns are lost each year because people think they've been abandoned when in reality, having spotted fur to help them camouflage and lying very still alone in the woods keeps them safe," Jean, a former middle school teacher, explains. "We like to use our books and movies to teach these gentle lessons of nature." For more information on Lost in the Woods visit www.lostinthewoods.biz, ww.carlsams.com, or call 1-800-552-1867.
