Noah and the Nestling

Description

‘Noah and the Nestling’ is aimed at children between the ages of 2 and 7 years. Yet, the poignant message of this delightful story - that all life is precious in the sight of God - is relevant to all children.

God’s love for children was Mary Williamson’s inspiration to write and illustrate this book. Once, many years ago, she nurtured a baby bird brought home by her cat as a gift for her. The whole experience brought home to her how we, as a people, care so profoundly for the well-being of animals – how most of us would go ‘above and beyond’ to save the life of a creature. But what about our unborn, she wondered. Her hope for ‘Noah and the Nestling’ is that it would ‘instil a deep truth’. “When an unusual creature is found under the old garden tree, not quite everyone is impressed.

However, it takes a family on an experience they will never forget. Noah and the Nestling is a heartwarming story that shows how precious every life is.” [Source: Blurb]

“This beautiful story helps those who want to teach young children how precious early life is. Its approach encourages a view that however small a human life is, it has huge value”.
