The Legend Of The Sand Dollar (Newly Illustrated)

If you don't already own the original book this updated version is definitely worth purchasing. Our family has enjoyed the original Legend of the Sand Dollar for years now. The story centers around Kerry and her cousin Jack. Kerry and her sister are going to their aunt's house for Easter. Kerry is a bit sad that her parents aren't traveling with them but is determined to have a good time with her cousin until her parents arrive later. Cousin Jack takes Kerry out on his boat and they visit a small island where they discover sand dollars that have washed ashore. Jack tells Kerry a clever story about the sand dollar that points to Christ. It is a story that I think your young children will find interesting especially if you happen to have access to a real sand dollar. The back of the book has a message about sand dollars and a classic poem from an unknown author that inspired this book. This book would make a great addition to an older child's Easter basket. The new illustrations by Richard Cowdrey are stunning and are sure to capture the attention and imagination of your children. I received a copy of this book to facilitate my review.
