The Animals Come Out

The Animals Come Out
by Susan Vande Griek (Author) and Josée Bisaillon (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: A series of untitled poems describe the many animals that emerge from the woods, the hills and the skies when we are not around. Peek out your window and watch the deer grazing under the streetlights, the rabbits hopping through our vegetable gardens, and the ducks quack quack quacking along the sidewalks.

Snippet:
Out from the woods
trail the timid deer,
traipse into town
without much fear.
