Take It to the Queen by Josephine Nobisso

Take It to the Queen by Josephine Nobisso

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.

"Wholly beautiful! For those of us with a religious background--or none!" -- Kirkus on The Weight of a Mass
"Lilting storytelling styleCharming." -- School Library Journal on The Weight of a Mass
