Jenny Schroedel

The Blackbird's Nest is a retelling of the legend of St. Kevin of Glendalough. As a boy he was unruly but thanks to a wondrous experience he has in the woods, he learns to be patient and to mend his ways. Indeed, he would go on to become a famous monk and Glendalough a famous monastery. A solid piece of writing backed up by excellent illustrations. Perfect for anyone looking to expand their picture book horizons beyond the usual saints or those with an interest in Ireland.

The Everything Mary Book: the Life and Legacy of the Blessed Mother. Jenny Schroedel and Rev. John Schroedel. 2006. I found this book for a dollar at Burke’s Outlet! I was so surprised I purchased it. Read only if you are interested in the way Mary is viewed by the Catholic Church, The Eastern Orthodox Church and the followers of Islam. I think this is the first “Everything” book I have read, and I think the “Idiot’s Guide” books are better
