(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Helen Cann. This attractive Bible storybook focuses on well-known people from the Old and New Testaments. The text introduces characters and describes events but also probes characters' motivations and explains the spiritual lessons embedded in the tales. Illustrated with attractive mixed-media artwork, the book includes a scripture verse, some questions to consider, and guidance for prayer after each section.
