The Ballad of Cactus Joe by Lily Murray
By Books
Cactus Joe loves his peaceful, solitary life in the desert, where he sings his lonesome song each night. But when unexpected visitors like a woodpecker and other critters start arriving, he’s forced to reconsider if being alone is all it’s cracked up to be.
- A Prickly Hero: Meet Cactus Joe, a prickly yet lovable saguaro cactus who prefers his own company… until the desert creatures start showing up. With each visitor, Joe’s carefully guarded space becomes a little more crowded.
- A Heartwarming Tale: Joe’s journey from a solitary life to one where he’s surrounded by new friends is a touching reminder of the joy that can come from opening our hearts to others.
- Musical Fun: Featuring the lyrics to Cactus Joe’s catchy ballad, this playful and interactive read-aloud will have kids singing along as they follow Joe’s desert adventure.
- Striking Illustrations: Bright and bold illustrations bring the hot, dusty desert to life, making this a visually stunning storytime favorite.
- Themes of Friendship: This tale gently explores the idea of making space for others in our lives, reminding readers that sometimes the best company is the one we didn’t expect.
