Product Details
Petook is a story by Caryll Houselander and illustrated by Tomie de Paola. Petook is a tale about a snowy white rooster who is proud of his wife's new brood of chicks. Petook shows how the white rooster is quick to protect them from an intruding young stranger named Jesus who was walking through the garden. But when he sees the child kneeling in wonder and caressing his newborn chicks, Petook is soothed and crows happily. Years later, Petook, whose home is in sight of Calvary's hill, is awaiting another hatching and becomes strangely agitated when he sees men being lifted onto crosses there.
He doesn't know that one of the men being crucified is the same boy who visited Petook's family long ago. But three days later on Easter morning, as a new brood of chicks hatches that coincides with the Resurrection of the stranger, Petook is inspired to crow with great joy, celebrating the mystery of new life. Petook invites young readers to enter into a relationship with the One who longs to care for us all.
