Catching the Wind : Beanie's First Flight

Catching the Wind is a simple but wonderful book about a beautiful relationship between a mother and a son. God has given the world many notable gifts but one gift that has to be at the top in God's economy of gifts to this world has to be the gift of mothers. Catching the Wind is a book about the work of mothers, work that is seen, and work that goes unseen. God's plan for children is lived out through the watchful care of mothers, mothers that coach, mothers that encourage, mothers that are always watching and caring for their babies. Beanie's mother is the best. The book follows a young song sparrow through one of the most challenging but necessary steps in a birds life; learning to fly. And the one constant throughout the whole experience is a loving mother. The book can be read for fun or used to guide children through difficult situations. It offers many teaching moments and is a vivid portrait of the deep love of a mother for a child.
