The First Miracle
By L.A. Willis

In The First Miracle, Ms. Willis’s main character is Abigail, a blind cat. The author does a touching job of conveying Abigail’s longing for her rescuer and friend’s caressing touch and raspy voice. But Rebekah has died and Abigail races blindly through crowded streets bumping into people, walls, and cart wheels. The reader can feel her pain and panic. Finding refuge in a barn, Abigail snuggles down into some soft hay to rest. A sound awakens her and she investigates. A baby has been born during the night; Abigail can smell it. That’s when the miracle happens.

Willow Raven’s art work on both the cover and inside pages matches the story in perfect harmony. While this novel is fiction, it might have happened just as L.A. Willis created it. I’ll be passing this gem of a story on to our granddaughter in a year or so.

The First Miracle is told in sixteen pages of narrative interspersed with small and large colored pictures. Children three to seven or eight years of age will love this story and request it to be read over and over. Readers will enjoy both the story and the captivating art work.
