We love this wonderful book. Oh my! I love robins, but now I love them even more!
The book tells the legend of why the robin's breast is red...
I love this part... "I know this man, thought the robin. All earth's creatures, except humans, recognized Jesus--the Creator-God come to earth."
"The thorn gave way. And as it came out a drop of Jesus' blood fell onto the robin's breast, staining it red from that day to this."
Then, of course we need to make some robin nests. See the full tutorial here (shredded wheat, coconut and chocoate).
These would be very cute at each place setting on your Easter table.
I just ordered this on Amazon yesterday and it should be here Wednesday! I'm even more excited now! I'm with you - I LOVE robins. My love for them is contagious - my girls are crazy for them too. I can't wait to read this to them.

The new banner is cute. Such a good picture of you all. I especially like the huge bug crawling on the bed. Ha!Ha! I bet that is one of Jack's contributions. Love you guys.

I did this with my kiddos after seeing this post last year. They are very excited to do it again this year. Looks like it will be a family tradition. Thank you for your wonderful ideas and for including details that make it possible to do.
