Desert song  Cover Image Book Book

Desert song / Laekan Zea Kemp ; illustrated by Beatriz Gutierrez Hernandez.

Summary:

"As the blush of sunset gives way to night in the desert, coyotes, cicadas, and barn owls emerge, each calling out to the moon. Watching from their porch, the family joins the song. One by one, each relative offers their drums, flute, maracas, strings, and voices. They sing with the insects, birds, snakes and toads; and they sing with their ancestors, an audience glittering in the stars overhead. With each strum of passed-down instruments, memories renew, and those gone are alive and near again." -- Provided by publisher.
