Lent for Children and Families
Sandy Eisenberg Sasso: Cain and Abel : Finding the Fruits of Peace
The errors of sinfulness with our brothers and sisters with a positive ending. Anything by Ms. Sasso is to be commended for your home library.Sandy Eisenberg Sasso: God Said Amen
A book to recommend for every season. Highlights the need to reach beyond ourselves and the cost of not sharing.Markus Zusak: I Am the Messenger
A fabulous literary work of trial and sacrifice. This is a better choice for youth and adults: it would certainly be rated PG-13.- Patricia Polacco: Just Plain Fancy
An Amish girl struggles with the difference between outlandish showing off and something that is beautiful by God's handiwork. Also consider Rechenka's Eggs for a more devotional religious practice of decorating eggs. Moses: The Long Road to Freedom
Fascinating illustration of the story of the Exodus.Carole Boston Weatherford: Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom (Caldecott Honor Book)
Liberation is a key theme of Lent. This children's book carefully relates the story of Harriet Tubman to the biblical experience of the Exodus.Noah's Ark
A striking illustration and retelling of Noah and his epic. This title is about more than the zoo on the water; it focuses just as much on the personal journey and trials of Noah and his family.Joyce Denham: The Hard to Swallow Tale of Jonah and the Whale (Tales from the Bible)
A simple and elegant telling of the journey of Jonah, a reluctant prophet.Kate Dicamillo: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
No author does a better job of dealing with pain, loss and resurrection than this author. Just as great for adults as for children.Jeff Brumbeau: The Quiltmaker's Gift
A wonderful book with a Franciscan ethic. The role of sacrifice and giving up material things would be a good choice for Lent.
