Key episodes from the gospels are retold simply and respectfully in this compelling collection. Together, the tales are woven into a complete narrative that recalls Jesus’ life from his birth to his death and resurrection. Each story draws from a single gospel, allowing children to begin to understand the particular focus of each gospel and to gain a better appreciation of these four vital sources. Carefully referenced illustrations with informative captions and a map of the Holy land help to set the time and scenery for each retelling.

Andrea Skevington is the author of The Little Fir Tree. Angelo Ruta is a well-known illustrator and director of films.
