Book of the Week: "Children of God Storybook Bible"

Title: "Children of God Storybook Bible"

Author: Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Illustrator: 20 artists from around the world

What does it look like outside? (My cover is one version - there are also other versions.)

What do I like about it?

This book is simple in the best way. The stories are short enough for wiggly children, while still giving enough details. The words are evocative and creative. The stories are told in a way that is simple without being babyish. The writing style is respectful of children.

The illustrations are beautiful. They were created by artists around the world, with a different and interesting piece of art on each page. The characters in the illustrations are in many different skin tones.

This is a good introduction to the stories of the Bible and the stories of Jesus. It would be suitable for reading at church or home. The book clearly tells a story of how each child is a beloved child of God.

Are there any drawbacks?

I wish there were a sequel with more stories!

Where can it be purchased?

It is available at many Christian or large bookstores.
