Joy, Grace, Faith, Charity, and Hope are busy with the preparations for the annual Easter celebration, held in a neighboring village. The journey is made more exciting when the girls decide to race their new friends, the five young knights. Along the way, the princesses meet challenges that show their trust in God and kindness of heart.
In this addition to the Princess Parable series, princesses Joy, Grace, Faith, Charity, and Hope prepare for their annual Easter pilgrimage and jubilee, during which they will deliver a cross, gifts, and decorations to townspeople "as we remember all that Jesus has done for us." When the princesses find a lost child during a storm, they pray to God to help guide their caravan through the rain. Tiaras and dresses unspoiled, the princesses safely arrive and reunite the child with her mother. Aranda's doe-eyed princesses---white-skinned, slender, and virtually identical---are rendered in a generic Disney-lite style, but despite a few inelegant phrases ("a frantic yet joyful-looking mother came running toward them"), Young and Johnson's story provides an effective framework for discussions about service to others. Ages 4-8. (Jan.)
