Queen Esther the Morning Star

32 pp. | Simon | February, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81372-4 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Gerstein retells the Bible story of how Esther married the king of Persia and subsequently saved the Jewish people from death. The story of the origins of Purim is told in a sophisticated tone, and Gerstein's gouache paintings do a fine job creating the unfamiliar setting. Exaggerated facial expressions and gestures enhance the drama.
