(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marie Lafrance. Though it mentions many biblical characters and touches on religious themes, this book is ultimately about names and how children receive them. Although the beginning seems disjointed, the theme finally coalesces. The illustrations, which use lots of blues and white space, ably move from biblical times to the modern day. The book ends with an explanation of Jewish naming customs.
