Review
"a useful addition to collections of international stories and tales." --Booklist Online
"Parents will enjoy reading these stories aloud, and children will absorb lessons about wisdom, told with kindness, humor, and simplicity." --Publisher's Weekly
"Balit's stylized illustrations retain a folk-art look and reference the origins of each selection through clothing and landscapes. Overall, this is a solid addition." --School Library Journal
About the Author
Mary Joslin is married and has 3 grown up children. She began writing when her own children were still young and has since written books that have been published throughout the world. For Lion these include Our Father, The Tale of the Heaven Tree, Do the Angels Watch Close By?, The Merchant Enticed by the Pearl of Great Price and The Story of the Cross. She likes kayaking, canoeing and gardening. Christina Balit is a graduate of the Royal College of Art. An acclaimed children's book artist, she has always longed to illustrate the Bible. She has received widespread praise for books including Blodin the Beast, Ishtar and Tammuz and The Twelve Labours of Hercules. Of British and Armenian descent, Christina spent her childhood years in the ancient lands of the Middle East --- the very landscapes where so many of the Bible's tales are set.
