Belles of Lake LeeLanau

In this gentle and moving picture book, learn of a peaceful little village in Michigan where the bells ring out for the Angelus and for births, weddings, and deaths.

The bells ring on August 10th when a pair of twins is born. But soon it is apparent that one of the twins isn't doing well...she's born with a condition that stops her from being able to swallow. Her mom rushes to place baby Irene under the care of her wise and loving grandmother--and you'll be inspired by what happens next.
