Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Warmly expressed, this is a wonderful outpouring of the special love between a parent and a growing baby. This time, the parent is a crane and the baby is a delightful baby cranelet. Unabashed at pouring out so much emotion, the crane sings a tender and touching song to its offspring drawing in friends and others and prasing their special characteristics as it does so. The result is a touching and warm hearted book with glorious illustrations capturing the mood perfectly.

About The Author
An extremely popular and prolific Irish author and illustrator, Mary Murphy's titles include I Like It When... and Some Things Change. She lives in Dublin, Ireland.
As a child, Mary was a constant reader. Her favourite books included Mary Poppins, Peter Pan and Tom’s Midnight Garden. She also loved any stories about animals. Mary was the third of six children.
Mary describes herself as "fairly outdoorish, but not sporty". She loves walking, swimming, reading and cycling.
She studied Illustration and Design in Dublin before freelancing as an illustrator. She has always written for pleasure and soon began developing ideas for children’s books following the antics of characters she had already visualised. A technique she sometimes uses is to draw the character in different situations and then see what follows on from there.
