Cervatillo del Jardín: Earth & Spades
Spades look like leaves; leaves are connected to earth and so the two were paired together. The little fawn is a creature whose life is tied to earth and here she lives, frolics within the forest. The book cover itself is a dark green, furthering its connection to earth.
