Product Description
With exquisite artwork and evocative text, this original fable explores the events of Jesus' life, and demonstrates the role of the Virgin Mary as the benevolent agent of God's people. Reduced to desolation by a king and prince who feel they have been wronged, the residents of a once-favored village must seek help from the queen, a native of their devastated town. Religious subjects are presented clearly in an allegorical style that proves entertaining, and also serves to provide children with examples of virtue and good behavior.About the Author

Thanks for the recommendation--I'm going to order it for my library's collection. What section do you think it should go in? The jobber I order from suggests the picture book collection, but the review makes it sound like it might fit into the nonfiction collection.
Adrienne, I'm not sure. It could also go in the religion section. I picture book though. I don't think it'd be nonfiction. I'm pretty sure it's a fictional story. Thank you so much for ordering it!
