Lyrics by Forest Sun and illustrations by Jill Dryer MORNINGBIRD is the tale of a guitar-playing Wolf and his sweet friend, Morningbird. Her song is so beautiful the sun climbs over the mountain to hear it. Wolf and Morningbird have a jam session in the forest with dancing creatures and violin-playing crickets. She flies away, and Wolf is lost without her. Can he sing her back? Jill has been making birds of all kinds including a 25-foot wingspan crane kite that flies at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle alongside 350 hand-folded paper cranes. Her art also appears in a rock musical, children’s books, murals, and an animated tv commercial. MORNINGBIRD stole her heart and she thinks children and adults will love to play along. We’ve also created a tiny film with handmade props that you’ll see in the book and we hope young readers will be inspired to make their own creations.
