Determined to serve the greatest and most powerful king in the world, a giant named Reprobus sets off on a journey, in this 1996 tale for readers 4 to 7. After doing service for a king, the devil, and a holy man, Reprobus discovers that it is Christ he needs to seek—but he must be patient, and must serve others first. Then one stormy night, Reprobus carries a child across a stormy river, and the appreciative boy will give him a new name and a new life. Bringing to life the legend of St. Christopher, Tomie dePaola crafts colorful and decorative illustrations in his inimitable style.
