Little Colt's Palm Sunday
Author Michelle Medlock Adams fills her rhymes with tenderness and humor that strikes just the right note of reverence for the subject and joy for the reader.  The luxurious oil paintings of artist Wayne Parmenter move from the purples and blue of early night scenes to the triumphant reds and golds of the glorious climax of the story.  The sculpted embossing on the jacket's painting gives the illusion that the colt and his rider are riding out of the book.
