Adam of the Road (Puffin Modern Classics) by Elizabeth Janet Gray
God's Fruit in Me teaches children about the fruit of the Holy Spirit in a fun yet basic way. With multicultural illustrations and examples, God's Fruit in Me takes each fruit identified in the bible in Galatians 5:22-23. The fruit of the Spirit is presented to children on a level that is age appropriate. They can even sing along with the You Tube video (https: //youtu.be/eWzeN_YNHqw). Love Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-controlThis is not just a religious book for kids. The fruit of the Spirit is explained with examples that explore the simple challenges that young readers are likely to encounter. Not only are character building solutions provided to these challenges, but there is a reminder with each turn of the page that God still cares. With children receiving so many mixed messages about what they should value and who to become, God's Fruit in Me illustrates that all children can have Godly character. Through multicultural illustrations with racially diverse characters, children can observe that God loves children from all different types of backgrounds and in various types of situations. The fruit of the Holy Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are taught as ways of showing that God's fruit is in the child reader.
Elizabeth Janet Gray (1902-1999) was born and grew up in Philadelphia. She graduated from Bryn Mawr College, and in the years that followed, under the names Elizabeth Janet Gray and Elizabeth Gray Vining, she wrote many books for adults and children, including the Newbery Award winner Adam of the Road. During and immediately after World War II, Elizabeth worked for the American Friends Service Committee. In 1946 she was appointed tutor to Crown Prince Akihito of Japan and later wrote the widely read Windows for the Crown Prince. She is the author of several novels and biographies and two autobiographical works. Robert Lawson (1892-1957) received his art training at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. His favorite medium, pen and ink, is used expressively and with detail in his black and white illustrations in The Story of Ferdinand (by Munro Leaf). In addition to illustrating many children's books, including Mr. Popper's Penguins, Lawson also wrote and illustrated a number of his own books for children. In 1940, he was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his picture book illustrations in They Were Strong and Good; and in 1944, he was awarded the Newbery Medal for his middle-grade novel Rabbit Hill.
