Little Burro reluctantly follows her band of wild burros away from her favorite rock to a lake, which soon becomes her "other favorite place." Inspired by a real experience (delineated in the author's note), naturalist and artist Arnosky infuses his appreciation for the natural world into the gentle story. Imbued with desert warmth, illustrations with simple borders picture hummingbirds, wild cactus, lizards, and rocky ledges.
