The Robin And The Sparrow

This is the full-color version of the coloring book

A visionary work that combines speculative fiction with deep philosophical inquiry, The Sparrow tells the story of a charismatic Jesuit priest and linguist, Emilio Sandoz, who leads a scientific mission entrusted with a profound task: to make first contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life. The mission begins in faith, hope, and beauty, but a series of small misunderstandings brings it to a catastrophic end. Praise for The Sparrow “A startling, engrossing, and moral work of fiction.”—The New York Times Book Review “Important novels leave deep cracks in our beliefs, our prejudices, and our blinders. The Sparrow is one of them.”—Entertainment Weekly “Powerful . . . The Sparrow tackles a difficult subject with grace and intelligence.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Provocative, challenging . . . recalls both Arthur C. Clarke and H. G. Wells, with a dash of Ray Bradbury for good measure.”—The Dallas Morning News “[Mary Doria] Russell shows herself to be a skillful storyteller who subtly and expertly builds suspense.”—USA Today

"In this elegant narrative, celebrated naturalist Ted Floyd guides you through a year of becoming a better birder. Choosing 200 top avian species to teach key lessons, Floyd introduces a new, holistic approach to bird watching and shows how to use the tools of the 21st century to appreciate the natural world we inhabit together whether city, country or suburbs." -- From book jacket.

'Humblenot and The Robin & The Sparrow' is a story written by Charlie Forrest for children of all ages. This story introduces the character, 'Humblenot', a story-teller, a forest dweller, a human-like creature who may once have been a brave crusading Knight; but he might also have been a dragon handler.Today, Humblenot is telling the story of 'The Robin and The Sparrow' and what happened when Robin flew in from the south for the winter to find Sparrow had been left behind. Being the first Humblenot story, you are introduced to some of the other characters who live in the village: the Constable and the School Mistress feature in this story. The story you are about to read is really three stories in one. We will learn something of Humblenot; who he is and where he lives but more importantly perhaps, of what he does. Within these pages, we join the children of the village as they all gather around Humblenot to listen whilst he tells the tale of 'The Robin and The Sparrow'; a story where Robin will tell his own tale to Sparrow; the one which explains how all robins came to have red breasts.Each Humblenot story will reveal more about him and the place where he lives but he will always tell a story. However, his stories won't always be just for the children because as you will see, grown-ups like to hear his stories too!'Humblenot and The Robin & The Sparrow' is published for Kindle and is available exclusively in the Amazon Kindle Store. The story is also published as a paperback and again, available exclusively on Amazon.I sincerely hope that you enjoy the story.

This three book series is intended to show my life in the written words with a blurred line between fact and fiction. The detail being lost in my memory and impossible to retrieve. Conversations, experiences and encounters from decades earlier are part of what I am today.It has been impossible to write an outline of my life without naming others and describing the circumstances of having an alcoholic father. The autobiographical nature of the book made any different scenario impossible.
