Product Description
Anton farms his land and feeds his family well--until the spring when there is no rain and his crops fail. Anton goes hunting one night so he can feed his family. When he finds a swan, he raises his gun, but lowers it again. Can he kill such a beautiful creature so that his family may eat for just one day? Full-color illustrations.

Lovely story, AMAZING watercolors

I actually bought this for the watercolor illustrations (elegant in their simplicity and luminosity - I teach watercolor), but the story itself is also lovely. Looking forward to reading it to my future grandniece.
