When Sarah Laughed
"The first time I readWhen Sarah Laughed, tears came to my eyes. Tears of joy rose from a deep belief that God wants us to laugh and find joy in this world. Children of all ages and faith traditions will delight in this story of gratitude and joy. The beautiful illustrations draw you in and create the perfect setting for a lively discussion. Enjoy!" --Reverend Susan Martersteck, United Church of Christ"Allegra Magrisso's fanciful weaving of the Matriarch Sarah and her delight and astonishment at being able to bring a baby into this world is delightful and imaginative. The author's use of God's covenant, the rainbow, throughout this story brings together the promise from the Noach (Noah) story to keep the world safe from floods and moves us into the myth with color and conviction and hope. The gold at the end of the rainbow! --Marilyn Price, storyteller, puppeteer, educator and author ofGrandma's Cookies"Allegra Magrisso retells the story of how laughter is named in the Biblical story of Abraham and Sarah, and through animated description and beautiful illustrations by Beth Shadur, bring new life and joy to the topic." --Dr. Ed Dunkleblau, past president of the Associated for Applied and Therapeutic Humor"Allegra Magrisso's fanciful weaving of the Matriarch Sarah and her delight and astonishment at being able to bring a baby into this world is delightful and imaginative.
