Remembrance Candles | Home » » The Story of the Easter Robin | | | | | | | Description: | | 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 Story of the Easter Robin will captivate and teach your child about compassion and faith. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

The true meaning of EasterApr 06, 2010
By IE Mommy
"Christine"
I read this beautiful book to my girls the day before Easter. They were all excited about wearing their new dresses, getting chocolate bunnies and having family over that I felt compelled to make sure they understood the true meaning of Easter.
We sat and read the book together and as the story of the Easter Robin unfolded I could clearly see they were drawn to the suffering that Christ withstood for us.
At the end of the story they asked if this was true? "Yes, the truth that Christ died for us is real. The robin...well, only God knows but I'd like to think so." was my answer.
Beautiful illustrations, wonderful characterizations of a grand mother and a inquisitive child led The Story of the Easter Robin to become one of our favorite, family holiday books.
You must pick up a copy and share it with your family...you will never look at those precious little birds the same way again...and hopefully you'll look at the true meaning of Easter differently as well.

This beautiful tale weaves in Pennsylvania Dutch tales and tradition, telling children the true meaning of Easter!Oct 13, 2010
By D. Fowler
"Dragonfly77"
A chill was in the air and Easter would arrive in two weeks. Tressa and her Gran peered out their window under the eaves at a lone robin sitting on her nest. It was worrisome to watch her mold her nest in preparation for her eggs because a "million things could go wrong when a robin tried to nest" before Easter. The next day when Tressa peered from beneath the red polka dot curtain she spotted a tiny blue egg in the nest, but also could see racoon tracks and a "blue jay eyeing the nest." She began to doubt if the egg would be safe, but Gran told her that the worry belonged to the Creator, not her. Soon there were three more eggs in the nest.
Gran told her about things like the robin's brood patch and the story of how the robin got its red breast from a drop of Jesus' blood. As Tressa listened to the stories, Gran began to teach her how to make oschter-fogged, Easter birds. She watched and listened carefully, but her mind still was on the robin on the window ledge and her eggs. In the morning they would hang their beautiful Easter birds from trees. On Easter morning Tressa carried her basket into the yard under the tree where the nest was nestled onto the ledge. She was startled when she saw that "jagged chips of blue shell lay scattered over the ground. Had something eaten the eggs? Was she going to experience sorrow instead of pain on this special Easter day?
This beautiful tale weaves in Pennsylvania Dutch tales and tradition, telling children the true meaning of Easter. I loved the way this tale gracefully unfolded, giving us a glimpse into several aspects of Jesus' life in relation to Easter symbolism. Passing on tradition and faith, whatever ones' family has, is important and this book wonderfully shows how Gran passes down hers to Tressa. The artwork was beautifully rendered and meshed quite well with the tale. It does show Jesus as he carries the cross and shows a robin plucking a thorn from his crown. In the back of the book there is more information about the story of the Easter Robin and Christ's sacrifice. This would be a wonderful tale to introduce young children to the meaning of Easter and the legend of the Easter bird.
