Description
Lessons from “Little Girl” is author Bernie Schillo’s love letter to “Rascal,” a baby raccoon he and his wife Sharon adopted and raised together on their RV park in Garrison, Montana.
Heartfelt, deeply sincere, and teeming with as much life and beauty as the 165 acres of natural wonders upon which this true story is set, Lessons from “Little Girl” chronicles Rascal’s fascinating, sometimes hilarious misadventures as she and Bernie come to know, respect, and truly care for one another.
The book is a colorful, emotionally moving portrait of the pair’s time together, and an eye-opening window into the complexity of these oft-misunderstood masked creatures, more commonly stereotyped as nuisances and pests due to their propensity for knocking over garbage cans than recognized for their captivating charisma, extraordinary intelligence, resourcefulness, and distinct personalities.
Bernie relishes every moment with his “Little Girl”—the nickname he and Sharon give her—all the while, knowing deep-down that the day will inevitably arrive when he must set her free and return her to the wild.
A pastor, Bernie interlaces “Lessons” from the Bible throughout, correlating selected passages with specific chapters and tales. Photographs he’s taken throughout their amazing journey together further bring these moments to life.
Bernie writes from his heart, and in the process, reveals as much about himself as his whiskered, enigmatic friend. Readers watch Rascal grow up, but also catch a glimpse into the human spirit and its inherent, seemingly inexhaustibly boundless capacity to love.
Endearing, always entertaining, and at times surprisingly enlightening, Lessons from “Little Girl” melds one man’s memories of raising a young raccoon with the timeless themes defining human existence—death, life, nature, beauty, love, among these—creating a story that’s part diary, part memoir, part children’s book, all soul.
Readers will never view raccoons the same way again, that’s a
