5.0 out of 5 stars Very highly recommended reading, August 13, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

The Blackbird's Nest by Jenny Schroedel is a children's picturebook that brings to life the story of one of Ireland's most beloved saints. Set around the time of A.D. 618, it follows the experiences of a young man who loves animals and even seems to understand their secret language. But other children bring out the worst in Kevin, and he is prone to bullying. One day though, Kevin learns a tranforming lesson from a most unlikely teacher: a blackbird. Captivatingly illustrated by Doug Montross in full color and with strong overtones of realism and facial expression, The Blackbird's Nest is very highly recommended reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring & Beautiful, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

This book is a wonderful combination of eloquent prose and beautiful art. Schroedel's interpretation of Saint Kevin is both inspring and well adapted for children. Our child loves it and loves identifying things in the pictures. Definitely an attention grabber for children, yet meaningful for adults too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect marriage of words and pictures, June 23, 2004

By A Customer

One of my two-year-old's top 5 picks--he sits through the whole thing, then says "Again!" I'm happy to acquiesce, since the story's spiritual beauty is multi-layered and just as soothing to my own soul.

Good story, great illustrations. In addition, the text is not afraid to say that Kevin was a Christian monk!
