Petook: The Rooster Who Met Jesus

Tomie dePaola

Petook is a snowy white rooster that is proud of his wife’s new brood of chicks, and quick to protect them from an intruding young stranger named Jesus walking through the garden. But when he sees the child kneeling in wonder and caressing his newborn chicks, Petook is soothed and crows happily.

Years later, Petook, whose home is in sight of Calvary’s hill, is awaiting another hatching and becomes strangely agitated when he sees men being lifted onto crosses there. He doesn’t know that one of the men being crucified is the same boy who visited Petook’s family long ago. But three days later on Easter morning, as a new brood of chicks hatches that coincides with the Resurrection of the stranger, Petook is inspired to crow with great joy, celebrating the mystery of new life.
