About The Authors:

Jan Godfrey:

Paola Bertolini Grudina:

Paola's inspiration for the books she has illustrated comes from her own Christian faith. She lives with her illustrator husband and five children in Gorizia, on the Italian border with Slovenia.

My Personal Opinion:
My niece really enjoys this book she loves hearing the Bible stories, and looking at the colorful art work. She especially enjoys the colorful art work, at times she flips through the pages just to look at the "pretty pictures". Her mom enjoys this book as well, because it helps her to explain God's Word in way that children understand and enjoy. If your looking for a Christian Children's Book this would be a good choice.
