Description
Four desert dwellers – a burro, a coyote, a skunk and a raven – face an uncertain future, until they discover each other and bravely set out on a journey to start a new life as the Sagebrush Singers!
Based on a classic German folktale collected long ago by the Brothers Grimm, The Sagebrush Singers is the amusing and uplifting story of four animals who comfort and support each other by banding together. In his colorful retelling of the “Bremen Town Musicians,” author Herb Kernecker has transformed the original four creatures – a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster – into desert residents, and set their story somewhere in the American Southwest.
Beautifully imagined by award-winning, bestselling children’s book illustrator James Watts, this picture book will enchant children (ages 4-8) and please their parents.
Available from Amazon, B&N and other online or local booksellers.

Advance Praise
"…this hilarious romp subtly introduces the theme of human encroachment on nature through a fun, attention-grabbing story. The four friends and the American Southwest are carefully depicted through unique cartoon illustrations, and the song accompanying the book will have young readers braying, cawing, and howling along."
