In a misty, faraway-feeling "land of rain," Davey McGravy lives with his father and brothers, but mourns his missing mother. He finds solace in nature and rhyme, birds who speak wisely and humorously, and his newfound ability to fly. Told in mysterious yet playful verse, beguilingly illustrated by Grant Silverstein, the poetry of "Davey McGravy" holds enchantment for all ages.

David Mason is the Poet Laureate of Colorado. He is the author of numerous books of poetry and the verse-novel "Ludlow." He lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
