As he soaks in the beauty of Greek traditions, he writes letters to his best friend, sharing the daily customs, heartfelt moments, and mouth-watering feasts that make Greek Orthodox Easter so unique!

From Lazarus Saturday to the joyous Easter Sunday feast, Tom's adventure introduces young readers to the rich traditions, faith, and family spirit that define this beloved celebration.

✔️ Learn about Holy Week traditions - from the candlelit midnight service to cracking red eggs!

✔️ A wonderful keepsake gift - perfect for children celebrating Easter in Greece or abroad

*Perfect for ages 6-11 - a timeless story children can grow with. However, reading ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won't necessarily be right for another of the same age. The vocabulary is extensive, with many adverbs and adjectives and a rich telling. As children grow older, they can re-read the story, discover new meanings and enjoy it as much as the first time they read it. It may well be suitable for older children, depending on how enthusiastic they are about the theme.
