The Dream That Is Jerusalem Fashioned into a Poem for Children,
By Meredith Noire "Writer and Reader" (The Banks of the Wabash Far Away) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jerusalem Sky: Stars, Crosses and Crescents (Library Binding)
Illustrated with a stunning blend of acrylic, gouache, and colored pencil, JERUSALEM SKY presents the meaning Jerusalem holds for Judaism (stars), Christianity (crosses), and Islam (crescents) in the form of a children's poem. From the focus of the sky, the stories of the Temple of Solomon and the Western Wall, Golgotha Hill and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock are revealed. The reader is bathed in dreamlike descriptions of these holy sites, which although carefully drawn are never directly named. The text is simple yet beautiful, and the pictures possess a vivid primitiveness that invokes a sense of otherworldliness. The three religions are portrayed in such a balanced and loving manner that it creates the illusion they coexist within the walls of Jerusalem in an incredible peace. This is a perfect book to introduce children to the majesty of Jerusalem without any of the animosity that usually mars it.

This review is from: Jerusalem Sky: Stars, Crosses and Crescents (Hardcover)
A clear and educational explanation of three religions traditions present not only in Jerusalem but in many other cities of our world. A good book for inter-faith families.
