Wren's Summer Day

Wren's Summer Day is a brightly illustrated and gently lyrical look at the natural life on an old farm. In this delightful children's book, a pair of wrens nest and nurture their young under the barn eaves at the farm. The wrens start their day caring for their hatchlings and hunting for food. When the sun hits its zenith, the farm animals pursue cool shelter and interact with pond life. It is a long, hot summer day and wildlife comes to the stream to drink. See how the birds, reptiles and mammals interact, sharing in the daily life of the farm. When a strong, windy thunderstorm evolves from the heat, the animals scurry to safety and the wrens rush to cover their nest. Following the storm, the brightening skies of nature's ever-changing cycle offer the promise of a new tomorrow. Matthew Stevens and his family live on a farm in New Hampshire. A former landscape designer, he is working on his next book. Wren's Summer Day was illustrated by Anna Goodale. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/WrensSummerDay.html
