The absolute sweetest! (Full disclosure: I received a free e-ARC for review through Edelweiss.) After seeing all the human-canine BFF packs chilling at the park, the adorable, unnamed star of this story decides that she wants a dog friend, too. But not just any dog: a rescue pup, from the animal shelter and everything. After nights spent dreaming of dogs and cats and guinea pigs and rabbits, and a massive ad campaign that threatens to bury the family's refrigerator, her parents oblige. Our hero gets her pup - and saves a life, to boot. Written by singer-songwriter, composer, musician, educator, activist, and Indigenous Canadian-American Buffy Sainte-Marie, and illustrated by the talented Ben Hodson, Hey Little Rockabye: A Lullaby for Pet Adoption just oozes charm (in the best way possible). The illustrations are lovely, and their beauty only blooms brighter when coupled with Sainte-Marie's compassionate message. http://www.easyvegan.info/img/hey-little-rockabye-01-large.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/hey-little-rockabye-02.jpg The narrative is pretty simple - the only text is comprised of a lullaby that Sainte-Marie sings to all of her adopted family members - but it's sweet, to the point, and nicely tailored to the intended age group of 3-7 years. I would have liked to have seen a note on animal rescue/adoption at the end; something to the tune of "6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters every year, 1.5 million of whom are euthanized. Adopt, don't shop!" (Source.) That said, I was lucky enough to read an early digital copy that still had forthcoming front and back matter, so fingers crossed. Get it if: you're a vegan parent who's desperate to find some truly animal-friendly picture books for your child; if your family is thinking about welcoming a furry family member into the fold (this could make a sweet memento for the youngest members); if you want to instill a sense of compassion and respect for nonhumans in the kids you know and love. http://www.easyvegan.info/2020/06/02/hey-little-rockabye-by-buffy-sainte-marie/ Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"A song about pet adoption from Cree singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. In this tender and moving picture book, a puppy is looking for someone to love him. Will the girl who rescues him convince her parents to let her keep the little dog? Buffy Sainte-Marie advocates "putting the songs to work" and, like her other lyrics, Hey Little Rockabye conveys an important message about finding love and acceptance. Brought to life in charming illustrations by Ben Hodson, Hey Little Rockabye shares a not-yet-released song with the world for the first time. With the release of the first-ever recording to coincide with the publication of the book, Hey Little Rockabye can now be read--or sung--by old and young alike for years to come."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
