2022 Purple Dragonfly Book Award
2022 Story Monsters’ Approved
Tom’s family is flying to Greece for Easter to visit Yiayia, Papou and the rest of their extended family. He’s so excited to get acquainted with all the Greek traditions of the Holy Week. So, he writes a letter to his best friend describing what he and his brothers do every day, starting from Saturday, Lazarus, to Easter Sunday.
*Travel to Greece through this gorgeously illustrated book and learn about the Holy Week in Greek Culture from a Christian perspective. Read about the wonderful traditions that still carry on and the delicious Greek meals planned for the special days!
*A perfect book about the celebration of family and the joy we feel when we gather together! It’s a reminder that no matter where we are in the world, we can always maintain the traditions that define us as people. A beautiful keepsake gift that children can enjoy.
*Aimed at children aged 7-12 years. However, reading ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won’t necessarily be right for another of the same age. The vocabulary is extensive, with many adverbs and adjectives and a rich telling. As children grow older, they can re-read the story, discover new meanings and enjoy it as much as the first time they read it. It may well be suitable for older children, depending on how enthusiastic they are about the theme.
