Waxwing presents…

A brand new picture book.

Just before first morning light, Little Shrew is awakened by the moon.

A mysterious fragrance leads her to a garden of moonflowers, where moths flutter, crickets hum, and frogs and peepers keep the beat.

Join Little Shrew’s merry romp in the moonlit garden in this bedtime story for adventurous souls.
