Will become a classic!
Every child should have 'Our Nest' in her/his permanent library. It is beautifully written and the illustrations are warm and inviting. Our 2+ year old grandchild has requested it so often she has it memorized! I cannot recommend this book more highly.

A WARM, REASSURING LULLABY
This warm, reassuring bedtime story has an all-embracing theme that helps children to understand that they are part of a much larger creation. More importantly, that everything in that creation is interrelated and safe. A rhyming story it begins with 'Snuggled in bed, You're all safe and warm, Like a bird in a nest in a tree. The dog curls up At your feet with a sigh, And sleeps with his head On your knee.' Immediately, young ones are reminded of how safe they are. From there we move to a mother cat who made a nest in a pile of clothes, and a hen who made a nest in the hay. Eventually, carrying the theme in broader and broader perspective, we see boats who come home to a nest in the harbor, and even to 'The vastness of space, that mysterious place, Is a nest for the sun and the stars.' We close with a reminder that we are all here 'in the nest of creation.' A thoroughly satisfying lullaby that should encourage the sweetest of dreams.
