The Clown of God



Last updated Monday, March 25, 2002

Author: Tomie de Paola
Illustrator: Tomie de Paola
Date of Publication:
ISBN:
Grade Level: 5th
Date(s) Used: Dec. 2000, Dec. 2001

Synopsis: A once-famous Italian juggler, now old and a beggar, gives one final performance before a statue of Our Lady and the Holy Child.

Craft ideas:

  • What would your gift be? Draw.
  • Try face painting, or learn to juggle.
  • Divide a piece of paper into two sections. What connections are there between the gift the clown gave, and the gifts we give at Christmas? What are the differences? Draw or write.
