9,101 | 0 | K-Gr 3Flamingo and Anteater engage in humorous banter as they narrate stories related to the Old Testament. Get Me to the Ark joins a host of other picture books about Noah. This time the giraffes have the starring role. Although the other animals laugh at their long necks and legs, those attributes help them rescue the slow-moving turtles from the impending flood. Their unselfish love for others is rewarded when they have the honor of disembarking first at journey's end. Black uses Jacob's gift to Joseph of a multicolored coat as a jumping-off point for the tale of Gus, an unusual goat that loves to dive and swim. Jacob's elderly servant misunderstands his master's instructions and paints Gus to create a goat of many colors. Frightened by this treatment, Gus flees to a herd of wild goats that designate him as leader because of his unusual markings. He enjoys the privileges that come from being "top goat" until his orders almost lead to tragedy. When he dives in a pond to save a small goat, his paint washes away, and the others feel deceived. However, they all soon realize that each has a special, God-given talent. The color cartoon illustrations are pleasant but unexceptional. These picture books could serve as supplemental titles in church libraries open to using humor as a way to convey messages of faith.Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.This action- and wit-packed riff on the biblical story of Josephs coat uses a comics format to painlessly show how being different from ones herd can be a challenge, a potential power, and a disguise. Unlike the other goats, Gus is a risk taker. When he is winnowed from the herd by Jacobs hard-of-hearing servant and painted colorfully, Gus wanders into the desert and discovers a new herd, which worships his difference. The newfound power goes to Gus head and almost leads to disaster, but his quick thinking saves the day and redeems him in the eyes of the desert goats, who feel deceived when his paint washes off. The bright artwork features a storytelling flamingo and a less-than-patient anteater as the visible and verbal audience to this lively and endearing morality tale within a morality tale. There is no heavyweight theology in this one, but lots of opportunity to discuss insightsas well as puns. Preschool-Grade 3. --Francisca Goldsmith; Title: The Goat of Many Colors | [

9,135 | 0 | K-Gr 2On a cold morning, Miguel wakes up to the sound of raindrops dripping from the hole in the roof of his house. Outside, he overhears his father's worried prayer in which he asks God for a new roof, firewood he needs for his pastry business, and clothes for his family. Without these things, they will not survive. Together, Miguel and his father fill a large sack with already made pastries, and they journey to three nearby villages where they hope to sell them. When they enter each village, Papa sings and the villagers sing, dance, and clap along with him, for he is well known for his beautiful voice. But times are hard, and no one has money for his wares. When he notices villagers who need help, he ends up giving all his pastries away. When he returns home, Mama is clearly exasperated. The next morning brings a heartwarming solution to the family's woes as neighbors from the three villages come to visit and use their various talents to repay Papa's kindness. That night, Miguel prays, Thank you for your loving kindness. And thank you, Lord, for my Papa. Amen. Soft, sweet illustrations accompany this gentle story. The use of Spanish words and the pictures of the people, landscape, village scenes, and clothing suggest that the setting is Mexico or perhaps, a South American country.Mary N. Oluonye, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH(c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.Good deeds and faith play a major role in this parable about trusting in providence. Young Miguel and his family live in a small house with a leaky roof. Winter is coming, firewood is scarce, and the childrens clothes are worn thin. Papa is sure, though, that when he brings his last batch of pastries to market, the money he makes will be more than sufficient. Alas, Miguel, accompanying his father, grows more and more anxious when, in village after village, no one buys the treats, citing their own hardships. What is worse, kindhearted Papa keeps giving away pastries to people with hard-luck stories. Kindness is far more valuable than money, Papa says. Reward comes the next day when the pastries recipients respond to the familys need in kind. Although the story is predictable, its Mexican-countryside setting sets it apart. Lamuts idealized illustrations portray warm characters in traditional costumes, dancing, singing, and marketing. A good choice for collections where there is demand for religion-themed stories.

(Booklist)Reprising the vibrancy of their Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner, I See the Rhythm (1998), Wood and Igus celebrate African-American gospel music along its historical transit from the Middle Passage to 21st-century Holy Hip Hop. Double spreads explore gospels evolution through slavery, the post-Reconstruction migrations north and west, gospel quartets on radio and vinyl and much more. Theres a whole lot going on, including the rhyming verse, a timeline of cultural and historical events and captions elucidating the accompanying paintings. The color-saturated art pulses with symbolic patterns and raw emotion. Display type alters with each page turn, and borders and spot art construed from facing paintings complete each teeming layout.

Teenagers Peter and Julia fall into a glowing pond in their grandparents' garden and find themselves in Aedyna small, former paradise ruled for the past few centuries by a trio of masked tyrants. Hailed by the enslaved populace as chosen ones sent by the Lord of Hosts to throw off the oppressors, Peter and Julia participate in a secret communion ceremony (Why do we eat salted fish on this night of the year and on no other night?) then lead a successful rebellion. Along the way they learn to reject ritualistic temptations to choose personal safety or power over the greater good, and by the time they return to their own world they've also learned something about having faithboth in a higher power and in each other. Periodic black-and-white illustrations add a dramatic touch to the story.

The final pages present a conservative Christian philosophy of confession and acceptance of Jesus as one's personal savior, with the concluding pages offering a prayer for children and the relevant verses from the Book of John. Additional materials include an explanatory letter to parents and other adults, questions for adults to use with children, Bible verse references incorporated into the text and an 'RSVP to Jesus' for use by the child reader. Though the text is on the saccharine side and the heavenly interpretation is a bit far-fetched, this effort does serve as an accessible introduction to difficult concepts.' - Kirkus Review (Kirkus Review)'Bryants child-friendly watercolor artwork, with its sense of joy, is the best part of the book. Lotz text is singsongy and does not always scan well: I have a little brother / hes as cute as he can be. We do everything together / and he always looks up to me. Still, parents looking for a Christian-centered book on heaven will like the message, which the book notes is not imagination or fantasy. It is Gods promised word (John 14:16 and Revelation 2127 are cited). Expect the book and author to be heavily promoted to the target audience.' - Ilene Cooper, Booklist Review (Booklist Review)Anne Graham Lotz is a bestselling and award-winning author of eleven books, including Wounded by Gods People.

9,170 | 0 | PreSchool-Grade 1This update modifies the original book (Random, 1980) and adds a slightly more religious message. It is Christmas Eve and the Berenstain Bears need a tree. Of course, Papa makes a mess of things and learns that Christmas is &a time to be thinking of others/to show love and respect to your sisters and brothers/And to treat them all/with kindness and concern. The added references to Sunday school, Jesus, a Nativity scene, and God will not be noticed unless readers are doing a close textual analysis. The rhymes are slightly more awkward than usual, but the kids who love the Bears family's solid traditional values won't be too bothered by any changes. If your old copies are worn out, this will be a popular addition.Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library ENDFinding the perfect Christmas tree is very important for Papa Bear and the cubs. But while hunting for that one special tree, the family meets up with other animals that live in them. Papa, Brother, and Sister realize that the trees are perfect homes for the animals and show kindness and love for their fellow Bear Country friends by not cutting them down. The animals from the forest work together to thank the Bear Family in a wonderful and unique way.; Title: The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights) | [

This book is the one childrens book that every Christian family should own. This book will serve as the main devotional book for my children in the upcoming year. In Children of God, Bishop Tutu presents Biblical truths reflecting a much-needed global perspective. --Soong-Chan Rah Milton B. Engebretson Associate Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism North Park Theological Seminary -- Dr. Soong-Chan Rah, ProfessorDesmond Tutu speaks to children and their elders in an inspiring and beautiful retelling of many of the central stories of the Bible. The artwork is a strong partner to the stories, and supports the challenge of the prayer that closes each one. -- Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop and PrimateTHE GIFT OF GOD'S LOVE FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE Desmond Tutu retells more than fifty of his most beloved stories, artfully highlighting God's desire for all people to love one another and to find peace and forgiveness in their hearts. Many of the finest artists from around the world have been selected to illustrate the stories. In an attempt to create the first truly global Bible for children, the artists have been invited to portray the stories with the style and richness of their own culture. Their stunning color illustrations allow readers to experience the Bible stories as if they were there---with Adam and Eve in the garden, with Noah on the ark, with Abraham in the desert, and with Jesus on the mountaintop. Every story shows how God works through history and ends with a short prayer, which personalizes the message for each reader's own life. Archbishop Tutu's wisdom, compassion, and sense of humor shine throughout, as he reminds us that 'We are all God's children.' Archbishop Desmond Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his lifelong struggle to bring equality, justice, and peace to his native country of South Africa. In 1986, he was elected Archbishop of Cape Town, the highest position in the Anglican Church in Southern Africa. Tutu is currently the Chair of The Elders, an independent group of global leaders who are working to promote the shared interests of humanity. In 2009 Tutu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor. He is known for his great love for children, as well as his powerful and profound understanding of the message of Jesus Christ. The Archbishop lives in South Africa with his wife, Leah. They have four children and seven grandchildren. 'In the spirit of celebrating children all over the world, each illustrator in this book has been invited to draw on their own unique and rich cultural heritage in their portrayal of these Biblical stories. Their art is truly a marvelous reflection of how we are all made in God's image.' --(Archbishop) Desmond Tutu; Title: Children of God Storybook Bible | [

9,188 | 0 | Gr 4-6Faith is a tricky thing; its demands are as great as its benefits and it is meaningless without adversity to test it. And so it is with Kate, whose happy, small-town life is upended with the news of her mother's terminal cancer. First-person-present narration takes the sensitive 11-year-old through the grieving process over the course of a summer, as baseball, a poetry workshop, and her mother's own strong faith in God teach and strengthen her. Fehler uses the workshop as a plot device to show Kate's interior growth, teaching readers something about the creative process as well. Kate is supported through her journey by a cast of wholesome characters who exemplify the Christian model and ring true despite their one-dimensionality. Her friend Ginny is an empathetic and talented actress; poet Allison is deep and spiritual; brother Cal's pest facade crumbles early on. The adults serve as examples to the children; Coach emphasizes team spirit, the poetry teacher is patient and perceptive, the dying mother inspires, while Dad holds the family together in tragedy. Fehler's world, populated by folks who care about one another and make good decisions, may seem archaic to readers who are used to young characters who act like cynical adults and adults who behave like children, but many people hold these standards as their own and will be moved and encouraged by this simple depiction of a faithful family in crisis.Lisa Egly Lehmuller, St. Patrick's Catholic School, Charlotte, NC(c) Copyright 2010.

9,197 | 2 | Gr 5-8Sixth-grader Mary Clare is the oldest girl in a large Catholic family. The year is 1967, and with only her father working, her family is struggling financially. She fears that her mother, who is expecting yet another child, is losing her faith. On top of all this, her beloved older brother receives his draft notice for the Vietnam War. Wanting to help her family with all of their problems, Mary Clare decides to become a saint. She makes bargains with God in exchange for His help, but worries she might not be saint material. (She passes notes in class.) The story is by turns heartbreaking and hilarious. Unfortunately, the very thing that makes it unique may limit its audience. The novel is so steeped in Roman Catholicism that it's best appreciated by those who have had a parochial-school education or are familiar with the history of the faith, especially the changes brought by Vatican II and what they meant for practicing Catholics. Glimpses into the Civil Rights and Women's Liberation Movements of the 1960s and the role religion played in both heighten the sense of time and place.Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA(c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.In her debut novel, Fixmer takes a look back at the roiling 1960s, when everything was in flux, even the traditions of the Catholic Church. Mary Clare is one of nine children (anothers on the way), and it seems one strategy for bringing order into her life is to become a saint. Well, first a nun and then a saint. So Mary Clare resolves to forgo sin, but she soon learns that black and white can unexpectedly turn into gray. When it comes to matters of family, friendship, religion, even war and race relations, the path is not always clear. Fixmer hits every hot-button topic of the day, including Mary Clares mothers burgeoning feminism. Fewer issues more fully explored might have been a wiser editorial choice, but theres no doubt this gives readers a strong sense of what was happening during this turbulent time. Smartly delineated in part through letters to a nun, Mary Clares story is wonderfully realized, and readers will find themselves pulling hard for her as she tries to do her best.
