Flipside Stories series.
Illustrated by
Lisa Manuzak.
The story of the sinning tax collector, whose soul is saved by Jesus, is told in two stilted rhyming narratives. Mid-book, the reader is asked to "flip" the book to "take another look" at the story: one is from the perspective of Zacchaeus, the other from Jesus'; it's an effective gimmick for the book's purpose. Bright cartoon-style illustrations depict people of many skin tones.
