Rating: 5
Summary: All Time Favorite
Comment: My 7 year old son reads at least 10 books a week. He most recently completed the original unabridged version of Doctor Dolittle, and he has read many Caldicott winners. Even though it has been months since he read this book, he claims that Song of the Swallows is his all time favorite.

Rating: 4
Summary: Beautifully illustrated story for young readers.
Comment: This is an old picture book that won the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1950. It is a cute tale of a young Mexican-American boy who lives by the Mission San Juan Capistrano. Juan visits the mission coming home from school to visit his friend Julian, the old gentleman who works there.

The colorful drawings evoke San Juan years and years ago and are very touching, especially if you live in that area or have visited. The story of the swallows coming to Capistrano on St. Joseph's Day also shows the qualities of patience and hope little Juan has. He plants a garden to attract the swallows to his adobe home as well. A beautiful and timeless tale.
