The stories in this book chronicle a journey of discovery for a little dog and her owner as they watch God’s miracles in the birds and animals that pass by a seemingly magical window in their log cabin home deep in the forest.

This book is filled with simple adventures that will hold the attention of young children while they learn about God’s creatures. Children will meet Harry the hummingbird, Sammy the snake, Rudy the redbird, and many others as they learn life lessons from the ways in which God’s smallest creatures care for each other.

This is a book for preschool and young children and should be read aloud to them by a parent or adult with expression and love while interacting with the child.
