The Beatitudes provide a course of training that develops our vulnerability so as to recognize the poor in spirit. In this sense, they are a remarkable guide to life.

The children use the tools to retrieve the food for a particular species of bird, learning how different kinds of bird beaks have adapted to feed on different foods in their habitat.

The book is an effort to share the depth of Christian teaching on happiness by showing the richness of the Beatitudes and how they can help us today.
