Miracle in the Window

What if an ordinary window gave you a glimpse of something extraordinary?

When a mother robin builds her nest just outside their window, two young brothers begin watching and waiting. Soon, three tiny blue eggs appear. Day after day, the boys check the nest until at last the eggs hatch and three hungry baby robins emerge.

But one afternoon, something else appears beneath the window―a quiet cat creeping closer and closer to the nest.

What happens next leaves the boys amazed as they witness the remarkable courage of a mother determined to protect her babies.

Inspired by a true family story, Miracle in the Window is a tender, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrating the wonder of nature, the fierce love of a mother, and the extraordinary moments that can unfold right outside our own windows.

Perfect for young nature lovers and families who enjoy meaningful read-aloud stories, Miracle in the Window gently encourages children to slow down, observe the world around them, and discover that sometimes the smallest moments become the ones we remember forever.

Donald Conant has always had an appreciation for the simple things in life―family, nature, and the everyday moments that become treasured memories. Miracle in the Window was inspired by something he witnessed outside his own window: a mother robin bravely protecting her babies from danger.

A devoted father and grandfather, Donald shared the story with his daughter, Carla, who knew it was one worth preserving. Together, they turned that small moment in nature into a book for children and families to enjoy.

Donald lives in Ohio, where the real-life miracle outside the window took place.
Carla Taberna is a writer, mother, and lifelong lover of stories. When her father, Donald, told her about the remarkable mother robin he had watched outside his window, Carla knew his story deserved to become something their family could hold onto.

Together, father and daughter created Miracle in the Window, inspired by the true story and by the wonder of seeing ordinary moments through a child's eyes.

Carla lives in Ohio with her husband and two young sons, whose curiosity, tenderness, and love of their grandfather helped inspire the young brothers in this book.
