PS
The no-nonsense Mama Squirrel peering from her safe heart-shaped hollow in a tree lets the reader know who is in charge of her beloved babies. Whether it's a cat, dog, owl, tree-pruner, kite, or airplane that tries to approach, each is soon sent packing. Lively, loose, gestural drawings, in ink and watercolor and crayon, keep the story light.
