(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton. Alternating with twenty-one stories from the Old and New Testaments, thirty-seven poems and prayers (some from the Bible, some traditional, and a few written by Pilling) encourage the reader to pause and reflect on a theme related to the preceding passage. Denton's simple watercolors help create a gentle tone for this unusual and effective marriage of Bible stories and poetry.
