Benji and the Reindeer Trail — Nature’s Magic in the Snow
Benji and the Reindeer Trail:
When the first snowflakes drifted past Benji’s window, he wondered how animals stay warm in winter.
That single question led him — and Sage, his wise little mouse friend — on a magical adventure to the snowy north, where they met talking reindeer, watched the Northern Lights, and discovered that courage shines brightest when you find your own way home.

In Benji and the Reindeer Trail,
Sage whisks Benji away to the land of ice and snow, where he meets Lumi, a kind reindeer who teaches him how animals survive in the cold.
Benji learns that:
Reindeer have special hooves that change with the seasons. They dig through deep snow to find reindeer moss — their winter feast. Even their noses warm the air before it reaches their lungs!
When a snowstorm separates Benji from the herd, he must remember Sage’s advice — “Every creature finds its way.”
By following glowing hoofprints across the snow, Benji discovers that being brave isn’t about never feeling lost — it’s about trusting yourself to find your path again.
