"Renowned Christian author Mitali Perkins creatively employs Old Testament imagery to relate for children the events of Holy Week and beyond--Jesus entering Jerusalem as crowds wave palm branches; Jesus breaking bread and washing his disciples' feet at the Last Supper; Jesus' crucifixion; the empty tomb on Easter morning; the destruction of Jerusalem; and the promise of Jesus' second coming. Perkins imaginatively derives her character, Little Wind, from Psalm 104:4: 'He makes the winds his messengers.' And the future ability of the tree-characters to clap their hands reflects on Isaiah 55:12: 'The trees of the field will clap their hands.' .Illustrator Khoa Le's distinctive artwork blends pictures of sweeping winds; jubilant or sorrowful trees; worshipful angels; the humility, sacrifice, and victory of Jesus Christ; and creation, both beautiful and groaning, as it waits in anticipation for the second coming of Jesus. Bare Tree and Little Wind is a children's picture book worthy of being savored again and again." - The Banner.
