Synopsis
Hildegard's Gift was not wrapped in shimmering paper and tied with gold ribbons. It was not a special package left under a beautiful, fragrant Christmas tree by old St. Nicholas. Hildegard's Gift was much more special than that. It took a lifetime for Hildegard to completely understand her gift, but when she finally did, she changed her entire world.
This beautiful children's picture book not only celebrates the life and work of Hildegard von Bingen; it also shows children that they, too, have gifts and talents hidden within, just waiting to be released.

From the Author
My first interaction with Hildegard von Bingen happened by chance when I was teaching a unit on Medieval Music for middle schoolers. I was entranced by her beautiful, haunting, melodic chants, and when I discovered that she was also an artist, an herbalist, and founded several convents at a time in history when women were not allowed in the marketplace, I was thoroughly hooked on this remarkable woman who called herself just "a feather on the breath of God."
But the idea for the picture book came to me when I found out Hildegard suffered from migraine headaches and was subject to periods of exhaustion and illness. I, too, suffered from unexplained, debilitating headaches as a child and preteen, so this amazing woman's story truly resonated with me. And now I'm sharing it with you!
From the Back Cover
Hildegard's Gift
Everywhere Hildegard went, she saw colors and swirls, pictures and designs. Music filled her soul, and she was flooded with ideas--so many that she thought her mind might explode. Then one day it all stopped.
This beautiful book will take you along with Hildegard on her journey as she seeks to find her voice and dedicates her life with devotion to God, service to others, and artistic expression.
