"Before I was even born, you loved me." Mom, I"m a Lucky Duck From the photographer of elegantly ageless elephants in Gray Matter and the porcine with panache from Pretty in Pink comes a chick hatchling tale to honor moms. Celebrating mom"s roles as nurturer, teacher, and cheerleader, Elsdale"s photographic spreads of feathery fledgling chicks are perfectly paired with Regan"s heartfelt verse: "Whenever I lost my way and my feathers were ruffled, you were there to smooth them." "With every loving act and patient lesson, you prepared me for my life ahead." I know I"ve still got a lot to learn about life, but I do know one thing for sure . . . I"m a lucky duck to have a mom like you."
