About the book:
In
the center of the nest lay one perfect egg, the color of a spring sky.
The father robin sat on a branch nearby, guarding his family. Tressa
spotted raccoon tracks below and
a blue jay eyeing the nest. “Gran, how are we going to keep the egg
safe?” “We’ll have to leave that one to the Creator,” Gran said. Robins
have built a nest on the window ledge at Grandmother’s house! Tressa is
thrilled―and concerned. What will happen to
the sky-blue egg laid by the mother robin? As more eggs appear, Tressa
witnesses the daily drama of the robins’ nest and learns how God cares
for all creatures. Besides watching the birds, there are Easter eggs to
color. And there is a very special story to
hear―a tale of long ago about one small bird with a very big heart. How
did the robin get its red breast? Tressa is about to find out as Gran
tells her the story of the Easter robin. Brought to life with colorful,
tender illustrations, The Legend of the
Easter Robin will captivate and teach your child about compassion and faith.

The Legend of the Easter Robin is a children's book. Easter coming this would be a beautiful book to share with your children or grandchildren. A little girl who learns a what compassion and faith is from her Grandma and a Robin. The message is wonderful, but you must realize it is a legend story, therefore if you are a creationist this book might rub on a negative cord. Read it with your child and point out the message of compassion and faith and don't dwell on how the Robin got his red breast. Or you could use is for discussing the real way the robin got his red breast. It does give us the real meaning of Easter through the Robin. Yes, I would share it with children, but make it a discussion book. You have to keep in mind what a legend is. It is a story passed down verbally by a group of people. However, the message of love and faith is real and the illustrations are absolutely awesome, very detailed. Children of all ages will love this message just in time for Spring. With that said...I have another copy of the book for giveaway.
