Review
New artwork from Cowdrey accompanies this faith-centric Easter story, first published in 2010. A golden-haired girl named Tressa is concerned about the robin’s nest on her grandmother’s windowsill: “A million things could go wrong when a robin tried to nest this early.†As Tressa and her grandmother dye Easter eggs, her grandmother tells her the Pennsylvania Dutch legend behind the robin’s red breast, dyed by a drop of Jesus’ blood after the robin plucked a thorn from his crown. Dramatic sepia-colored scenes emphasize the weight of Jesus’ cross and the violence of his procession through Jerusalem, creating a startling and powerful contrast against the cozy, present-day domestic scenes. Ages 4–8. (Jan.) (Publishers Weekly)

Well written story and beautiful illustrations
The Legend of the Easter Robin: An Easter Story of Compassion and Faith is a children's book based on a Pennsylvania Dutch tale that explains how the robin's chest became red. It was the compassion that the robin showed during the time of Christ's crucifixion that earned him his beautiful bold color, the same color as the blood that fell from Christ's crown of thrones. The book explains the true, bloody meaning of Easter by interlacing a modern-day story of a little girl and her grandmother as they watch the robins from the kitchen window.The story is based on sound biblical truth but it is not appropriate for children of all ages. The concepts of death, flogging, and even compassion are meant for an older child - probably eight years old and up. The book is beautifully written with charming and colorful illustrations which bring the story to life. The portions of the story that describe the crucifixion of Jesus are quite graphic and the illustrations change to black and white to mirror the more dramatic tone of the story.If I had older children I would love using this book to supplement our spiritual teachings during the Easter Season. However, it will be several years before I'm able to sit down and share this with my children due to its dramatic tone, the length of the story, and the powerful illustrations - it is simply inappropriate for my 3-year-old and 7-month-old. If you are looking to introduce your children to the true Easter story this book will provide you with a great resource and I highly recommend it. There's even an extra page at the end of the book explaining some of the symbolism of the crown of thrones, the robin's red breast, and even Easter eggs.
Easter is an exciting time of year for children…thoughts of the Easter Bunny are never far from their minds. One thing my children can’t understand, is why a Bunny delivers eggs. It was always a mystery to me as well. Why do we associate eggs with Easter?“The Legend of the Easter Robin†is the story a little girl named Tressa who discovers that two robins have built a nest on her Grandmothers window ledge. While Tressa and her Grandmother take time to decorate some eggs for Easter, Tress is distracted by her concern for the little nest. Being a woman of faith, Gran shares with Tressa the legend of how the Robin got it’s red breast.“The Legend of the Easter Robin†is a beautiful new illustrated version of the classic story by Dandi Daley Mackall. The illustrations are very spring-like, full of spring greens, pinks and blues. The expressions on each characters fit the story perfectly. As the story starts there is a picture of with Gran, Tress, the pup and the robins. You can immediately see Tressa’s concern for the robins on her face, while Gran and the robin has a look of peace about them. They know that God is in control and will protect the birds.Gran starts to tell the legend of the Easter Robin the images lose their happy spring-like feel and move to more somber tones. I always struggle with sharing the Easter story with my children. I want them to know the true story, yet I feel compelled to hide the cruel imagery that accompanies many of the stories. The illustrator, Richard Cowdrey, has done a beautiful job depicting the suffering Jesus endured for our sakes. These images tug at your heart. If you have a sensitive child you may want to browse through the book first, to see if it is suitable for your child.“The Legend of the Easter Robin†has changed the way I look at the humble little Robin. Each year I anxiously wait to see the first robin of spring. Now whenever I see the little bird I will always be reminded of Christ’s sacrifice and how much he truly cares for us. The robin’s song will help me to remember that after Christ died, he rose again on that first Easter!Easter baskets and Eggs have now taken on a whole new meaning. I can now share with my kids why the bunny drops off Eggs to them each Easter. The nest (basket) reminds us of the crown of thorns places on Christ’s head and the Easter eggs remind us of our new life in Christ.“The Legend of the Easter Robin†carries a strong message of faith that could be enjoyed by everyone. It is a reminder to each of us that we need to put our faith in God and that he will continue to take care of us. No matter what trouble comes our way, he is in control. It is a wonderful story of compassion and faith to be shared with generations to come.*Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of “The Legend of the Easter Robin†from Booklook Bloggers. All opinions are 100% my own.
I want to make Easter special with my children. I want them to understand that the most important holiday that we celebrate is Christ’s resurrection, but sometimes I just don’t have any ideas to help. So, when I received the opportunity to review The Legend of the Easter Robin: An Easter Story of Compassion and Faith, I was hopeful that this book would help me to celebrate Easter with my children in a more faith filled way.Here’s’ some details on the book: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.This is a classic story and legend that I had never heard before, and as I read it to my children, they were enchanted with each page. The prose is elegant and beautiful without the story feeling contrived, and that’s important to me because sometimes Christian books can have a trite or contrived feel to them that turns me off. Instead, we found that we loved the story.We also loved each page of illustrations. They are beautiful and meaningful. They add much to the classic feel of this book, and this is a book that I imagine that I will keep around on my bookshelves as a permanent addition to our Easter collection. I could totally see having a new family Easter tradition of creating the Easter bird easter eggs to hang on our trees as a celebration of Easter.
