Molly Beth Griffin, Anne Hunter
Loon Baby
eBook
(HMH Books for Young Readers March 21, 2011)
Atop the rippling waves—
the breeze ruffling his fluff—
Loon Baby waits, alone,
and wonders:
Will his mother ever come back?
With sensitivity and a spare prose, first-time author Molly Beth Griffin navigates the quiet panic that Loon Baby experiences in the absence of Mama. Anne Hunter’s soft cross-hatched and watercolor paintings shape a serene lake-scape with varied scenes that amplify and illuminate the emotion this book captures.
