Cook, THE GO-AND-TELL STORYBOOK; 30 Bible Stories Showing Why We Share About Jesus—by bestselling children’s author Laura Richie and illustrator Ian Dale—is a must have for families with young children.

About THE GO-AND-TELL STORYBOOK
Bestselling Children’s Author Laura Richie offers the next highly anticipated title from her beautifully illustrated Bible Storybook series with the Nov. 1 release of THE GO-AND-TELL STORYBOOK: 30 Bible Stories Showing Why We Share about Jesus. The newest and third title of this successful series from David C Cook follows The Advent Storybook and The Easter Storybook, each featuring simple, engaging Bible retellings to inspire children and their families to “go and tell” the story of Jesus, the Rescuer. This new release further addresses why Jesus came, who He is and how His work of rescue and hope continues, spreading from His first-century followers to the whole world, even today.
Geared to families to read as a daily devotional for a month or throughout the whole year, The Go-and-Tell Storybook includes rich poignant illustrations by accomplished artist Ian Dale, who partnered with author Laura Richie to create biblically accurate retellings of the accounts of the first Christians that also portray the beautiful cultural mosaic of first-century Middle Eastern and Asian communities.
Each Bible story comes to life through the accompanying artwork that shows how the Holy Spirit came and what Jesus’ friends did. Readers are able to follow along and experience the adventures of Peter, Paul and other believers from the Pentecost celebration through the Acts of the Apostles.
Each story in THE GO-AND-TELL STORYBOOK features:
· a key Bible verse at the beginning of each story
· a conversation-starting question at the end of each story
· beautiful illustrations and intriguing maps
· learning opportunities for the littlest hearts to share the love of Jesus
Contrary to what many people think, writing for young children is a challenging task, especially when the material is taken from the Bible. Laura Richie has done a wonderful job of condensing each story to one page, just enough to share the story with young children while not losing their attention.
To accompany each story is a beautiful full-colored illustration from Ian Dale. He includes cultural details, such as houses, clothing, landscape, and even maps, to bring the First Century to life.
Each story in this book is one page, beginning with a key Bible verse and ending with a question to jumpstart conversations on how believers can apply the lessons learned to their own lives.
