Claire Freedman waves her pen once more to create a magical book that celebrates the beauty of life through the eyes of young ones – fawns, ducklings, lambs, piglets, puppies and more.
While the lyrical text is captivating by itself, the illustrations by Tina MacNaughton make this book a keeper.
I would hesitate to tag this one a children’s book, because it could very well be the perfect feel-good book for parents too! We sometimes need a child’s perspective to awaken the wonder of the world around us. :-)
Excerpt
Into the stable the bright sunlight streams,
Bathing the foal with its soft, golden beams.
Sun-drowsy kittens pad home to their mother.
Washed one by one, they curl up with each other.
