review:
'The Marvelous Mustard Seed' by Amy-Jill Levine and Sandy Eisenberg Sasso with illustrations by Margaux Meganck is a picture book retelling of the parable of the mustard seed that is told by Jesus in the Bible.
Two children plant a mustard seed in the ground. The seed is so small that it can barely be seen. Once it is in the ground, it is hidden from view. Once the tree grows, it can be as large as a tree and provide shade and medicine to people around. In the same way, the children in this story (and the ones reading it) can live up to a much larger potential than they think possible. The book concludes with a section addressed to parents and educators with a series of questions that could be asked.
The illustrations are very nice and colorful. The story is a good adaptation told in a way I think would make children think about it in new ways. The ideas of faith and potential are presented clearly.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Flyaway Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
