When the world was new and first being populated with animals, the birds were assigned their colors. Robin red breast wondered why her breast was not red like her name. The angels told her she was a special bird who would have to earn the red color. She thought about several ways to earn a red breast, but in any contest, she was either too small or the feat was too difficult for a bird to ever win. One day she saw on a hill in the distance a man nailed to a wooden cross and suffering. She wanted to help him, to take away some of the pain, but her eggs were about to open, so she stayed until they were all open and okay. Then she flew to the man and pulled out thorns piercing his head and making it bleed. After she had done all she could do to help him, she flew back to her nest. Her baby birds, surprizingly, all had red breasts! Then the angels and God appeared. God told her she had unselfishly earned the red color for her babies and herself, and for all the robin red breasts forever after. This book, published by Independence Publishers, Inc, Atlanta,is intended for children from 3 to 8, "and their parents." It has a washable, illustrated hard-cover. All illustrations are in color, by Georgia artist, Monica R. White.
