Birds of the Air: Seeing the Hidden Value That God Sees

Set against the historical backdrop of Jesus' baptism, *Birds of the Air* is a fictional tale about where true value and worth lie. In this beautifully illustrated picture book, several birds hear the news that God's Spirit will descend on Jesus in the form of a bird, but no one knows which bird. Immediately, they begin to compare themselves, boasting about why each should be God's symbol-the peacock for his beauty, the eagle for his strength, and the parrot for his smarts. But the dove, the least impressive bird of all, has more in common with Jesus than the other birds realize.  
  
Told in thoughtful prose with a traditional, fable-like quality, *Birds of the Air* will capture the imaginations of children, ages 4-8, emphasizing that God sees the hidden value in each of us and chooses the least likely among us for His great purposes.Read less
