About this ebook
The desert is calling. My soul feels at home.
I love all the sounds and the smells as I roam.
It calms the sad urgings. It quiets my mind.
There is a great peace to leave the city behind.
No worries, no fears. Nature is in control.
The desert is calling. It can heal your soul.
I love all the sounds and the smells as I roam.
It calms the sad urgings. It quiets my mind.
There is a great peace to leave the city behind.
No worries, no fears. Nature is in control.
The desert is calling. It can heal your soul.

Cindy Shanks
Cindy is a retired primary teacher who spent thirty-six years sharing good literature with young children. She has published four books about an historic sheep trail in Arizona, a book about the wild horses of the Lower Salt River near Mesa, Arizona, a books of poems sharing her love for the seasons in the Arizona desert, and a book of poems about animal life in and near the ocean. This new book introduces you to Sammy, a newborn otter in Morro Bay, CA as he tells you about growing up and going out into the ocean with the skills he was taught by his mother. I hope you enjoy getting to know Sammy and his view of life in the ocean.
