The Christmas Bird

Summary: Wonderful telling of how the robin got its red breast
Review: Sallie Ketcham writes a delighful story of how the robin's red breast came to be. Setting the story during the birth of Jesus, the bird helps a cold baby by fanning the fire with his wings, and singeing himself in the process. As a thank you for keeping her baby warm, Mary gives the robin a wonderful gift.

Stacey Schuett's illustrations work beautifully with the story. The bright colors capture the essence of the book, delighting children and adults alike.

A perfect book to enjoy with your children or give as a gift!
