Adam & Eve’s First Sunset<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Written By<\/strong> Sandy Eisenberg Sasso\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Illustrated by<\/strong> Joani Keller Rothenberg
\n<\/strong>Review:<\/strong>\u00a0 Often spiritual children\u2019s books can be a bit heavy-handed\u2014with spiritual or moral lessons overshadowing the narrative arc of the story.\u00a0 Adam and Eve\u2019s First Sunset strikes a delightful balance between spirit and story.<\/p>\n

The story begins with a sunset.\u00a0 As Adam and Eve watch their only source of light disappear, they panic.\u00a0 They coax the sun to return.\u00a0 They order it to stop its descent.\u00a0 They mourn the loss of light.\u00a0 But it is only when they let go\u2014and fall asleep\u2014do they learn to trust the natural cycles of the earth.\u00a0 When they awaken, the sun is there, in all its glory.<\/p>\n

The illustrations in this full-sized book are marvelous\u2014whimsical, colorful and rich with emotion.\u00a0 Just as illustrations ought to bring a story to life, Rothenberg\u2019s artful imagery conjure up a bountiful world worth trusting.<\/p>\n

Recommended for: <\/strong>This book is a wonderful gift for parents of any faith with children under the age of 8.\u00a0 For Christians parents, this book is a must-read as this particular re-interpretation of Adam and Eve provides many important moral lessons for today’s children.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
