In a companion volume to their bestselling Mary's First Christmas, author/illustrator
team Walter Wangerin, Jr. and Timothy Ladwig once again bring biblical
times to life. In Peter's First Easter, they tell the story of Jesus's
last days on earth through the eyes of one of his disciples. In a conversational
tone, disciple Peter tells the story of Judas's betrayal and his own
shameful denial of his savior in his time of need. Lively, full-color
pictures illustrate the sometimes gruesome, sometimes joyous events
of Jesus's crucifixion, resurrection, and forgiving of Peter.
Wangerin's retelling of the earthly relationship of Jesus and Peter is
ideal for families to read together at Easter or anytime. The humanity
in the story will touch young readers as they begin to understand the
significance of the life and death of Jesus. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
