    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.
