Melvin by Claudia Boldt is a delightful children's book about a unique reindeer who is a little different from his friends. Melvin loves to be as colourful as he feels on the inside, but his bright hues aren't very camouflage-friendly in the snowy wilderness. This charming story explores themes of self-expression and individuality while encouraging young readers to embrace who they are.
