Large decorative quotation marks frame a paragraph of text excerpted from A Snake and a Feathered Bird by Angie Ellis. Excerpt reads: His mother stood in the shade of a large oak, deep in the forest where the mushrooms grew. It was dawn, cool and green. The birds twittered and darted like black sparks through the branches. With her back to him, she crouched to pick the mushrooms. She sang.
