It tells the moving story of a little bird whose flight southward for the winter keeps getting delayed because of the strange requests of a local street beggar. The beggar asks the bird to deliver bread to a homeless man, money to a widow with children, and a gold cross to a sick boy in the hospital. As a result of performing these acts of mercy, the kind bird gets caught in a massive winter snowstorm. All seems lost, until an astonishing turn of events reveals the true identity of the street beggar. An inspiring story of risk and sacrifice, the Beggar and the Bluebird teaches children the true meaning of gift-giving and demonstrates that great love is always rewarded by God-though often not in ways we can predict"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 8 $b Sophia Institute Press. 521 $a Grades 2-3 $b Sophia Institute Press. 541 $d 20211207. 650 1 $a Birds $v Juvenile fiction. 700 $a Cowdrey, Richard, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012015157.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20220208011258.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E259607288AC11EC8370445E5CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
