Mary, Mother of Jesus Reviews

  • Meagen Farrell

    Inaugural review in my 2018 Book Challenge. Read this for January 1st, the Feast of Mary. Enjoyed reading this short book to my kids during the Christmas season, to imagine hearing the story from Mary's perspective. Great when paired with hearing the original scripture proclaimed in Mass. The illustrations are gentle and contemplative, a fresh take on traditional interpretations of Mary. Video review here:

    A beautiful book to read with elementary schools for the month of May! The illustrations are beautiful and the text is not too wordy. Best for grades 2-5.

  • Jen

    THe pictures were cool, medieval style. Some of the story was dumbed down or changed for kids, especially Mary's song. eeek. I think the author could have better represented the words she said w/o changing them so much.
