A mother sings to her child, describing the ways wild creatures across the world lull their babies to sleep: whales in the sea, fledgling ospreys in their nest, bear cubs in their ice den, seals on the shore, ponies on the heath, the snow leopard family in the high rocks, and tigers in the deepest jungle.

The lyrical story of A Wild Lullaby is enriched by Cathy Fisher's gorgeous animal paintings, realistic yet magical, evoking a sense of tenderness and peace across our wild world.
