520 a| "A family sings and plays music on a desert evening, in harmony with the nearby wildlife and the ancestors above."--c| Provided by publisher.;

520 a| A family joins the music of the Texas desert night in this tale of tradition and memory from Pura Belpř Honor author Laekan Zea Kemp. It starts with a soft tapping, Uncle Eduardo drumming his hands against his dusty jeans. As the blush of sunset gives way to night in the desert, coyotes, cicadas, and barn owls emerge, each calling out to the moon. Watching from their porch, the family joins the song. One by one, each relative offers their drums, flute, maracas, strings, and voices. They sing with the insects, birds, snakes and toads; and they sing with their ancestors, an audience glittering in the stars overhead. With each strum of passed-down instruments, memories renew, and those gone are alive and near again. Desert Song hums and chimes with all the music a front porch and the desert beyond can hold.;
