Lovely story, AMAZING watercolors

I actually bought this for the watercolor illustrations (elegant in their simplicity and luminosity - I teach watercolor), but the story itself is also lovely. Looking forward to reading it to my future grandniece.

The Swan's Gift

An enchanting and magical tale about the gift of life! This is an inspirational story written in the traditional folk tale style that illustrates the value of unselfish acts with simple, powerful words and sparkling, watercolor pictures. A warm and imaginative book, perfect for bedtime reading!
