The Promised One is a perfect way to introduce children to the Easter story. Words and pictures describe the events from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection simply but clearly and offer lots of opportunity for questions and discussion. The illustrations contrast the drama with quiet moments, the shock and devastation felt by Jesus’ friends with final scenes of peace and joy. ~Andrea Reece
Jesus made sick people well, he made food for thousands, cared for the lonely and the needy. He was like no one else, and the people believed the Promised One - God-on-earth - had arrived. But others were not so sure. But God always has a plan, and this is the story of God's plan, and how Jesus came for everyone, everywhere, for all time. Let Antonia Woodward's beautiful retelling take you back to the heart of the very first Easter.
Antonia Woodward graduated in 2007 with a first class BA (Hons) degree in illustration and since then has illustrated for picture books, children's magazines, wedding invitations, logo design, website design, and hand-lettered typography. She even designed the logo for her illustration agency! When she was little, Antonia made everything into miniature books just so she could hold the world's tiniest book in her hand.
