The Lion Bible to Keep for Ever: A Special Gift

Description

An accomplished author and illustrator team come together to present a children's Bible, full of charm and grace. A leading Bible storyteller, Lois Rock uses all her understanding and skill to retell 50 favourite stories from the Old and New Testaments, with simplicity and sincerity. Each story is prefaced with a one-line introduction explaining its place in the Bible, so children can gain a deeper understanding of the broader sweep and purpose of the Bible's stories as a whole.

Lois Rock has established an international reputation as a children's writer. Specialising in Bible stories, prayer books, and information books, her books have been translated into over 30 languages with sales approaching 4 million copies. She draws on her experience as a mother of three, and as a leader of church children's groups. Sophie Allsopp has been a professional illustrator for more than 13 years. She has worked for many different clients, including the BBC, Kingfisher, Hodder, Templar, OUP, card companies and many others. Over this time her work has evolved, becoming fresher and more spontaneous, whilst retaining a strong emphasis on drawing.

"Attractive illustrations with a soft focus and muted palette are sophisticated enough to appeal to older children, and the volume's small-but-thick size also gives it the look of a book intended for children in upper-elementary grades or middle school. An excellent choice for family reading or religious education programs." --Kirkus Reviews "Attractive illustrations with a soft focus and muted palette are sophisticated enough to appeal to older children, and the volume's small-but-thick size also gives it the look of a book intended for children in upper-elementary grades or middle school.
