Because You Are My Baby by Jennifer Ward.This is a simply told and beautifully illustrated tribute to Southwestern babies (and their mothers) both animal and human. Jennifer Ward has written several popular children's books, including "There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea" and "Way Out in the Desert" (with T.J. Marsh). Fans of the always popular "Ten Little Rabbits" will probably recognize Sylvia Long's lovely illustrative style.
