Mrs. Mourning Dove: A Tale of Love and Caring

by Chris Vadeboncour

Overview

All it took was a potted geranium, a determined momma dove, and a lot of love to transform Annie and Peter's ordinary winter on the Cape into a treasured story. In Chris Vadeboncour's Mrs. Mourning Dove, readers will delight in Annie and Peter's discovery of a new bird family nesting right outside the window. As Annie, her grandson, and the community are awed by this late winter miracle, readers too will become inspired by this classic tale. Based on Vadeboncour's real-life experience, Mrs. Mourning Dove is a story we all can relate to.

Editorial Reviews

"Mrs. Mourning Dove is a sweet, gentle story of friendship between a grandmother and a mother mourning dove with fantastic bits of life wisdom woven throughout!"

first grade teacher, Ezra H. Baker Innovation Schoo - Pat Arone

"Mrs. Mourning Dove reminds us all that no one is ever truly alone. Mrs. Dove, and the family she brings forth, stand as a reminder to Annie that life goes on, that she is surrounded by a supportive community, and that love conquers all."
