Synopsis
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.

From Booklist
A baby loon lives safe and secure with his mother in the woods. But when Mama Loon dives for the babys dinner and disappears, he worries because she has never been gone so long and imagines all manner of scary possibilities. In his search to find her, which to him seems endless, he learns to dive. But still no mama. Hunters illustrations artfully complement the story arc. In the beginning, watercolor washes of subtle blues and greens establish serenity. As the tension builds, a double-page spread of wavy water whipped by wind and pelted by rain surrounds the tiny loon baby, capturing his fear and loneliness. Another dramatic image shows a close-up of the loon as he wails a mournful, wavering cry right before his joyful reunion with his mama. This lovely picture book addresses a childs fear of abandonment and offers the reassurance of a mothers love. Preschool-Grade 2. --Patricia Austin
