Synopsis

Listen!

Lake songs are singing.

Splash! Hoot! Chirp!

What does nature’s summer music say to you?

Seeking to open a child’s heart and mind to the creative power of observation in the natural world, Songs of the Lake illustrates that sound carries over water and nature’s melodies echo long after leaving the lake.

Songs of the Lake follows The Woodpecker’s Song and The Wolf Song in Me in the Finding Wisdom in Nature Series ~ a song trilogy focusing on themes of Dreaming Big, Facing Fears, and Listening to Nature.

Mary C. Parks was born and raised in the suburban Mid-west. These playful illustrations are intuitive to exploring the awe of summer family days and nights at the lake with her curious son, Brad, and grandsons, Anthony and Leo. As a national and state acclaimed art teacher of thirty-five years, kindergar-ten through the college level, Mary also published her works in ILLUSTRATOR magazine for four years and illustrated several cookbooks. Retirement unfolded an unanticipated life for this multi-technique artist. While art history, travel, technology, and trends contribute, Mary's art echoes the spirit of her heartland roots."Art is the voice that uses no words; it sees, listens, and reflects. My illustrations for the "Songs of the Lake" were inspired by nature's glory and by reflecting on the enlightening words of author Marnie O. Mamminga. It is my hope that our words and illustrations awaken the imaginative wonder in the minds of children." - Mary C. Parks
