What ​Star Is This? 0 csillagozás

A new take on the arrival of the Star of Bethlehem is told from the point of view of the comet. „A tiny comet with a budding tail/is born this night on that frosty trail./What star is this?” Partially rhymed text repeats the query as the bold little comet makes its way to earth, blinking „Good will! Good will!” The last three pages bring together the Three Wise Men, the star, and the manger scene. Jay's rich paintings feature a crackled surface, much like that of ancient weathered and aged oil paintings which lend a pleasing antique look to her stylized and elongated figures, the decorated space through which the humanized comet hurtles. For young readers, the gentle explanation of how comets form and the probable cause of the bright star in the east at Jesus's birth will be fascinating.
