Reviews

"What do I love about this book? The size: at 8x8 its perfect for little hands. The lovely endpapers. Jennifer Grant s lyrical language. Julianna Swaneys endearing illustrations...The gentle invitation to count to five and back."

--Glenys Nellist, award-winning author of The Wonder That Is You



"What a lovely book of counting and birds with a beautiful theology woven in."

--Rev. Elizabeth Ashman Riley, author of Rage Prayers



"A true gift...In a world that moves too fast and asks too much, Consider the Birds offers a gentle reminder of Gods presence in the small, beautiful things-and the invitation to slow down, pay attention, and be still."

--Roger Hutchison, author of The Gift of Baptism



"Manages to do and be SO many different things. Its lyrical, a counting concept book, focuses on birds that many readers will recognize (with gorgeous illustrations of them), encourages gratitude, expands on a love and wonder of nature, AND ties in a religious theme of Gods love. Im completely boggled by how it does all of these things together AND does them all equally well!"

--Jena Benton, writer and illustrator



"I love this book because scripture serves as the inspiration, but it is not shoehorned into the story, and the narrative does not become pedantic...The rhyming is subtle and lends a nice rhythm, making this a good read aloud. The watercolor illustrations by Julianna Swaney are beautiful and give the birds personality....uses a spirit of wonder and awe to remind children of Gods deep love, care, and attention to all of his creation-including them."

--Lindsey Cornett, Englewood Review of Books
