The Proud Tree

This timeless tale tells children the story of the crucifixion from the viewpoint of Rex, the tree that became the cross Jesus carried to Calvary. It also teaches them a valuable lesson in humility and love while helping them understand the power of Jesus' love and the importance of his sacrifice. Illustrations from the award-winning animated Liguori video are featured as black and white line drawings that children can color.
