Simon of Cyrene and the Legend of the Easter Egg
Written by Terri DeGezelle; illustrated by Gabhor Utomo The folk tale associated with the tradition of coloring Easter eggs possibly originated in Germany, and is retold here for children ages 4 to 7. Legend tells us that Simon of Cyrene, the man who helped Jesus carry his cross up to Calvary, was an egg merchant. In this story we see him coming into the city to sell eggs when he encounters Jesus, stumbling and falling under the weight of the cross. Roman soldiers seize Simon and force him to help Jesus, making him leave his eggs behind—eggs that are later returned with a startling surprise from Jesus. In this tale, Simon remains with the disciples after Jesus’ death and is a witness to their joy after the resurrection, returning to his home to spread this good news to his family, who become some of the first Christians.

Saint Clare of Assisi: Runaway Rich Girl Written and illustrated by Kim Hee-ju Saint Clare had everything a young girl could want: wealth, a loving family, and her faith. Her father desired the best for her and planned that she would marry according to the family’s position in society. The suitor her father chose for her was handsome and of noble birth. Clare wanted to please her family; but she had heard St. Francis speak of the love of Jesus. Her heart longed to share in the poverty of Christ, live among the poor and serve them in her daily life just like Francis, but she could not do that as the wife of a nobleman. In this book you’ll discover how Clare ran away from the only life she knew to start a radical new adventure in holiness for women, following Francis in his love of the poor Christ. The Order she founded is known today as the Poor Clares. Vibrantly illustrated Shoujo-Manga style graphic novel tells this amazing story for children ages 9 to 12.
