Desert Voices (Rise and Shine)
On the hottest<BR> summer afternoons<BR> when desert creatures<BR> look for shade<BR> and stay close to the earth<BR> and keep their voices low <BR>I sit high on a cactus<BR> and fling<BR> my loud ringing trill<BR> out to the sun... <BR>So sings the Cactus Wren, one of the ten desert creatures that speaks for itself in the evocative and lyrical verses of <I>Desert Voices.</I> In both text and illustration, <I>Desert Voices</I> conveys a message of spirit and courage from the shy and quiet creatures of the beautiful desert land.
