Island and Saint Aidan

From the publisher:

Can a place and its creatures sense holiness? When St. Aidan walked across the land bridge, did something change? In this short, beautifully written chapter book, illuminated with black-and-white ink drawings, we discover what it means to be holy. The Island and Saint Aidan tells the unique story of how Aidan, called the "Apostle of Northumbria," met the Holy Island of Lindisfarne for the first time. We see a plover, a rabbit, and the island itself combat loneliness, fear, and judgment, and we learn how St. Aidan helps change the course of how they see themselves and what they will all become.
