Hand Me Down, ©2011 by Katie m. Berggren ~ Message from the Artist: Watching our children take lessons from us (many times we don’t even realize we are teaching) and in-turn replay moments of kindness, can be a great reward. I believe that lessons in love are handed down, and as we teach our children with the gentle guidance that they require, we are also setting up their future relationships. Birds, for me, have become figures of life and nature, compassion, warmth and light - so this bird comes very intuitively.
