description: On the hottestsummer afternoonswhen desert creatureslook for shadeand stay close to the earthand keep their voices lowI sit high on a cactusand flingmy loud ringing trillout to the sun...So sings the Cactus Wren, one of the ten desert creatures that speaks for itself in the evocative and lyrical verses of Desert Voices. In both text and illustration, Desert Voices conveys a message of spirit and courage from the shy and quiet creatures of the beautiful desert land.
