The Robin's First Christmas

The Robin's First Christmas

Written and Illustrated by Susanne T. Schroder

The Robin's First Christmas is an adorable story that pulls at your heart strings while relaying the message of God's love. Having read the previous book in the series of Unlikely Heroes, "The Donkey's First Christmas" and immediately loved it, I was excited to have a chance to read this book, and I was not disappointed. The Robin's version of the first Christmas is just as sweet and entertaining, an instant classic at our house.

The little Robin loved to sing, but was told he was not special or good enough over and over, (he stammers, though that fact is not directly pointed out as such) so he decided to remain silent, believing that truth spoken over him. It was not until a cold December night when he observed a fire in a stable that he experienced a love like never before and realized his value through an act of service. 

The story is told in a rhyme fashion, easy and quick to read yet loaded with depth and value. The illustrations are sweet and cute, immediately drawing the reader in with the simplicity yet detailed depictions. It is one of those books the kids want to hear over and over agan that I don't mind reading repeatedly.

 I absolutely love that a portion of proceds from the sale of the book go to www.stamma.org, an organization that existst to help create a better world for people who stammer. A book with a great message in an enticing manner that also does good with it's sales? That's a huge win for me! I am proud to support this author and her fantastic works!
