By Jennifer Ward, Sylvia Long (Illustrator)
A mother's love echoes through the desert night.
In a tender tale, a mama coyote serenades the moon while a human mother cradles her baby to sleep. This story beautifully parallels the universal bond between mothers and their young, capturing the essence of love shared across species. With enchanting illustrations, it invites parents and children to explore the warmth and connection that transcends the human world, offering a soothing bedtime journey through the desert night. What lessons will these mothers impart as they guide their little ones through life's early steps?
I’ll teach you everything I know, and guide you as you learn and grow, because you are my baby. A mama coyote sings moon songs through the night just as a mama human cuddles her baby and lays her down to sleep. This precious story illustrates that the love a mother feels for her child is not unlike the affection animal mothers in the desert show their offspring. Beautifully written text is lovingly complemented by Sylvia Long’s wonderful illustrations, making this an important book for parents and children to share together.
