A FOX IN THE NIGHT

A
Fox in the Night, by Mayra Calvani, with artwork by Marina Moshiva, is a
lovely evening run through snowy woods with a red fox. She’s out on a mission.
We follow her across fields, through the town and woods, with the whole natural
world also alert on this night. We follow her night time journey until she
makes it safely back to her den where her pups hungrily await her return. You
can feel the urgency of the fox to make it home to her babies as a blizzard
closes in on them in their cozy den.
Marina
Moshiva’s interpretive artwork has the fox out on a shopping trip, getting
Christmas presents for her pups. She has to return to them before the blizzard
overtakes her and she’s late for Christmas morn with the presents. When mother
fox is safe in her den, she snuggles with her pups, and reads them a bedtime
story.
Ms.
Calvani’s lovely story shows how our modern world has encroached on the natural
world. Mother fox has to provide for her pups in spite of the weather, in spite
of the wild world, and in spite of the human world. Our mother fox makes it
safely home to her pups and provides them with everything they need to survive,
food, knowledge, and gifts of the heart. It’s a beautiful idea.
