This is a youthful : Jesus, first seen against a background of fresh spring green, ‘but at the Last Supper; the betrayal and the delivery to Pilate lead to _ the inevitable tragedy, the colors darken. A hand stretched to the. . sky eloquently expresses the agony of crucifixion, but the pink - dawn‘ of the third day finds an ecstatic Mary Magdalene greeting the risen Jesus. Each page has not only an illustration to help carry forward the story, but a decoration that has some reference to tradition — a lamb, the purple grape, the scorpion, the crow- ing cock, the butterfly of resurrection. The simplicity of the silhouette and the rich ornamentation of the surround and the ac- companying pictures make a striking combination. There are im- . pressions which stay in the mind — a windswept Jesus waking his disciples in Gethsemane while ‘in the distance the torches bring $19. 95. : ‘The Kumulipo i is a traditional Hawaiian creation chant. It was . recited over every newborn child in the belief that this recitation helped to bond the new life to all living things. The chant, in its original form, is over two thousand lines long and contained the genealogies of the kings, Richard Lewis has taken the essence | . from the chant and presented it as a short poem for children — -a poem which depicts the coming of life from the depths of ‘darkness. In the darkest night are born the simplist of creatures. - As dawn breaks more complex ones are born, and then, with the coming day, men and women are created. The simple lines are ’ accompanied by illustrations powerful in their simplicity, as vibrant forms shape themselves from the dark, and the curve of . living form is echoed in the curve of mountain and sun-splashed cloud.

Ursula Le Guin’s latest book for children is a gentle fantasy about four kittens born te Mrs. Jane Tabby, each one of them with wings. ‘‘Maybe they have wings because I dreamed, before they were born, that I could fly. away from this neighborhood,” - sighs their mother. She becomes more and more concerned for. her kittens as their life in a garbage dumpster in the alley becomes more and more precarious. The time comes when their mother sends them off to.fly far from the danger of the dump- ster to places more secure. Off fly the four kittens, and after a long tiring journey they find themselves in the country where they set about learning to hunt and fish, The owl, however, objects to them hunting on his preserves and he injures one. Once more they are in danger until they find some children who are enchanted by their wings. The - kittens have found a safe home. §.D.
