"Two things make Western Lullaby special. The message is simple and memorable, but wonderfully crafted to create touching visual images of home, family, wildlife and the rural mountain environment, all in peaceful harmony. Secondly, the clever illustration of this story is done exquisitely from cover to cover. It may be the finest I've seen in a children's book. Each page is a visual delight, complete with many details that will lead a young reader on a venture of discovery with each visit." -Chuck Schroeder, Executive Director, National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum "What a beautiful book. It is extremely well done. The words are emotional and soothing. The illustrations are friendly and graphic. Every child who reads this book will fall in love with Mother Nature and her creatures. He or she will understand that Mother Nature is kind and gentle and that her creatures are a part of our human family. Wll done." -Red Steagall, Poet Laureate of Texas, Official Cowboy Poet of Texas.
