The Phoenix and the Sparrow
From fiery ashes to a legendary tale of deception and freedom.The magnificent Phoenix rules over the small birds of the forest from his palace, offering protection from the Great Eagle — but that protection comes with a steep price. Few birds have questioned the Phoenix, and the ones who do disappear forever. Then, one quiet morning, a little sparrow who will challenge everything is born...
Like "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis, "The Phoenix and the Sparrow" is a Christian allegory that tells a timeless, memorable story that children will carry with them into adulthood. It's the type of book that grows with a child and, like Aslan, Iggy will help them fall in love with Christ.
This 140-page, full-color graphic novel explores themes such overcoming limitations, thwarting deception, finding hope, and experiencing rebirth. The story is illustrated in a charming, vintage cartoon style blended with modern artistic techniques. The book's content is suitable for the whole family!
Originally conceived by Graeme J. Friesen, this story was sketched out in its entirety over one long weekend in 2015. The book was subsequently released one page at a time, over the course of several years, until the final product was completed in the summer of 2023. This unique method of creation has resulted in a book (and characters) that grow with the story. Now you can read it the whole story in one place!
