Reviews"Renowned Christian author Mitali Perkins creatively employs Old Testament imagery to relate for children the events of Holy Week and beyond--Jesus entering Jerusalem as crowds wave palm branches; Jesus breaking bread and washing his disciples' feet at the Last Supper; Jesus' crucifixion; the empty tomb on Easter morning; the destruction of Jerusalem; and the promise of Jesus' second coming. Perkins imaginatively derives her character, Little Wind, from Psalm 104:4: 'He makes the winds his messengers.' And the future ability of the tree-characters to clap their hands reflects on Isaiah 55:12: 'The trees of the field will clap their hands.' ....Illustrator Khoa Le's distinctive artwork blends pictures of sweeping winds; jubilant or sorrowful trees; worshipful angels; the humility, sacrifice, and victory of Jesus Christ; and creation, both beautiful and groaning, as it waits in anticipation for the second coming of Jesus. Bare Tree and Little Wind is a children's picture book worthy of being savored again and again." - The Banner

SynopsisA lyrical, captivating retelling of the Palm Sunday and Easter story from National Book Award nominee Mitali Perkins, author of Rickshaw Girl, that is sure to become a beloved tradition for families of faith. Little Wind and the trees of Jerusalem can't wait for Real King to visit. But Little Wind is puzzled when the king doesn't look how he expected. His wise friend Bare Tree helps him learn that sometimes strength is found in sacrifice, and new life can spring up even when all hope seems lost. This story stands apart for its imagination, endearing characters, and how it weaves Old Testament imagery into Holy Week and the promise of Jesus's triumphant return. While the youngest readers will connect to the curious Little Wind, older children and parents will appreciate the layers of meaning and Scriptural references in the story, making it a book families can enjoy together year after year.
