I Will Keep You Safe and Sound

(4) PS Illustrated by Petra Brown. Ten animal mothers and their offspring shelter in their respective dwellings in this comforting but slight tale. Following every third rhymed verse introducing animals ("Dolphins in the cove / While the wild waves pound") comes the reassuring refrain, "I will keep you safe and sound." Soft watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations offer a sentimental perspective on the natural world.
