Catalyst: "Give Us This Day: The Lord's Prayer" from the Penguin Group, illustrated by Tasha Tudor, 28 pages, hardcover, c. 2007, $9.99
[Source: Penguin Group] The best known of all Christian prayers is illustrated here in sensitive watercolors by one of America's foremost artists. Tasha Tudor's interpretation captures the reverent simplicity of the familiar and beloved prayer. Although the images are drawn from her own surroundings in rural New England, they bespeak a universal faith. The test is taken from the Book of Common Prayer, which is based in turn upon the words of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament in the gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke. Tudor's illustrations eloquently express the faith and wisdom of the words. Here is a book to share with all members of the family, a book to be cherished by young and old alike.
