Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck

Before I was even born, you loved me." --Mom, I'm a Lucky Duck

From the photographer of elegantly ageless elephants in Gray Matter and the porcine with panache from Pretty in Pink comes a chick hatchling tale to honor moms.

Celebrating mom's roles as nurturer, teacher, and cheerleader, Elsdale's photographic spreads of feathery fledgling chicks are perfectly paired with Regan's heartfelt verse:

* "Whenever I lost my way and my feathers were ruffled, you were there to smooth them."

* "With every loving act and patient lesson, you prepared me for my life ahead."

* I know I've still got a lot to learn about life, but I do know one thing for sure . . . I'm a lucky duck to have a mom like you."
