About this book

Gods kingdom said Jesus is as tiny as the smallest of seeds but when it is planted it grows into such a huge tree that the birds make their nests in its branches." Newbery Medalist & ministers wife Katherine Paterson retells the life of Jesus in simple beautiful language for all ages making the story new again through her trademark generosity and compassion. Iconic images from Jesuss life light the text with the same warmth and directness. A perfect gift book!
