The Legend of the Easter Robin
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.

My Review
This book is such a sweet story that your children will love. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. You will enjoy reading this story as much as your children will love hearing it. We may think our children are too young to understand the story of Christ’s sacrifice, but they are never too young! It is so important for children to hear of God’s love when they are young.
The way that The Legend of the Easter Robin tells the story of a little girl and her grandmother watching a robin’s nest. As the robin lays her eggs and the eggs hatch, Tressa learns the legend of how the robin got its red breast. This is a must read for your children this Easter!

This would be donated to our local library as book acquisition money is never enough and the kids seem to get too few new books.

This would make a nice Easter book for my son. We have a Robin that stays close here so it would be neat for him to read a book about the Robin.
