The Bible for kids who enjoy graphic novels

This beautiful Bible comes in two colors: pink and blue. Since I have more boys than girls I chose blue. The Bible has a hard cover with gold accents.

Marmal the Blue Ribbon Sheep
Marmal the Blue Ribbon Sheep is a new children's book by Lisa Marie Mathieson. My first impression of this book was the illustrations were adorable! Isn't Marmal just the cutest little sheep ever?!
