"A true survival story.
A fable more fantastic than fiction.
Spring arrives on Lake Hubert, Minnesota, and Larry and Louise Loon return to their nest to welcome their new chicks into the world. The chicks bask in the sun, play hide and seek under the sailboat, and float along on the backs of Mama and Papa, safe from the dangers beyond their corner of the lake. Larry and Louise know who watches the little family; a predator by the name of Jody lurks in the skies above their peaceful summer home. When Jody sets her sights on the chicks, Louise shows the eagle exactly how ruthless a mama can be."
In August 2019, I illustrated the children's book, Don't Mess with Mama! written by Don Deline. Written from the perspective of a father loon, this book follows the true story of a mother loon who bravely raises and protects her two loon chicks on a Minnesota lake. It's a perfect read for kids ages 7 and up.
Don't Mess with Mama! is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books a Million, and more of your favorite online booksellers.
