a beautiful connection with nature and birds. The book shows counting, and different species of birds. it also shows the nature of bird habits and behaviors.

Book Review: Consider the Birds by Jennifer Grant
Age Range: 3–7

Consider the Birds is the first Christian picture book I’ve read, and I was genuinely touched by its beauty—both in message and design. Part of the Consider series, this gentle and thoughtful read invites young readers to explore the wonders of nature through the lens of faith.

From the very first page, the Spring-like aesthetic drew me in. The illustrations are crisp, clean, and vibrant, yet carry a calm and soothing vibe that makes the book feel like a warm embrace. I loved how the birds are not only beautifully depicted but also given subtle personalities—like the boldness of the blue jay or the peaceful nature of the doves.

Jennifer Grant does a wonderful job weaving in Matthew 6:26, offering the reminder that if God cares for the birds—creatures who neither sow nor reap—how much more will He care for us? It’s a message of God’s provision, care, and love, gently told in a way young readers can understand and adults can appreciate. I also appreciated the underlying theme of sharing and generosity, reflected in how the birds partake in the bounty of seeds.

Whether you’re introducing faith concepts to little ones or simply looking for a beautiful, nature-inspired picture book, Consider the Birds is a heartwarming choice.

🌿 Thank you to NetGalley and Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Consider the Birds is a beautiful Christian picture book. Although I couldn't put this in my public school classroom library, it would be perfect for a private school preschool or early elementary classroom. My daughter loved the pictures and counting the birds. I loved the use of language and the beautiful coloring. The font is easy to read.

Thank you to Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company for an advanced reader's copy. These opinions are my own.

This book was very average, nothing really drew me in and therefore I know my students wouldn't be captivated.

Beautifully illustrated book, My granddaughter enjoyed the the pictures and loved to count the birds. She also enjoyed singing the bird sounds. A great book for practicing counting and discussing the birds, feeding, nesting etc..
The religious element at the end was out of the blue and unexpected, with no previous mention of God.
Overall a lovely book, that my granddaughter wanted to read over again.

Beautiful art. Nice counting up/down the number of birds. The ending page about God's love feels a bit abrupt and disconnected from the rest of the book.

My daughter loves birds, so this was perfect for her! She loved pointing to the different birds and I enjoyed how it incorporated counting. The illustrations were beautiful. It's a great kids book for Spring!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy!

The book that downloaded under this title was actually another, The Birds of Christmas by Olivia Armstrong.
