Mississippi wordsmith and collage artist Laurie Parker, creator of such rhyming favorites loved by both children and adults as in Everywhere in Mississippi, Louisiana Alphabet, The Turtle Saver, and It Really Said Christmas, has now crafted a beautiful Bible Alphabet book. The author / illustrator's tenth book, A for Angels is especially designed to have something for all ages:
* Bible story pictures in an ABC format for little eyes
* Lyrical rhymes for reading-age children
* Scripture for adults
Classic Bible stories are retold lyrically in Parker's trademark poetic style that celebrates language, fosters vocabulary development, and begs to be read out loud!
B is for BETHLEHEM. Long, long ago,
Beams from a star
bathed this small town below.
A barn there glowed brightly
with beautiful light
Because of a baby boy
born there one night.
The animals bowed.
Shepherds came to behold.
It's one of the best Bible tales ever told.
This child in a blanket
brought God's love to earth,
And that's why believers
still honor his birth.
A for Angels is richly illustrated with Parker's unique collage artwork, making it a beautiful coffee table book!
