Mother Bird tells her son stories of St. Francis of Assisi.
Knowing he was loved by God filled Francis with gratitude and happiness.
This book is a look at how this gratitude and happiness led Francis to treat
his brother and sister creatures with respect. It offers a vision for the many
ways that all of us, humans and other animals and all of Creation, are connected
parts of God's world. For the young children with whom you read this book,
talking to animals and trees will probably make perfect sense. Here's hoping
you will encourage them to do so." -Phil Gallery
