Acclaimed storyteller and Jewish scholar Ellen Frankel has masterfully tailored 53 Bible stories that will both delight and educate today s young readers. Using the 1985 JPS translation (NJPS) of the Hebrew Bible as her foundation, Frankel retains much of the Bible s original wording and simple narrative style as she incorporates her own exceptional storytelling technique, free of personal interpretation or commentary.

Included in the volume is an Author s Notebook, in which Frankel shares with rabbis, parents, and educators the challenges she faced in translating and adapting these stories for children, such as how she deals with adult language in the original Bible text and themes inappropriate for most young readers.

With his enticing, full-page color illustrations of each Bible story, award-winning artist Avi Katz ignites readers imaginations. His brush captures the vivid personalities and many dramatic moments in this extraordinary collection.
