Wow! How cute are the wooden characters! 💕 Reposted from @biblestorysacks I am SOO excited to share our new Story Sack - Deborah and Jael!

These first 7 copies are signed by Lucy Rycroft from The Hope-Filled Family, so grab one while you can. This Story Sack has been put together with love and thought. We wanted to turn a story that can be quite difficult to share into a beautiful sensory experience for you and your little ones. Check out our website for more details.

Initial idea sketches drawn in an airport to final artwork! As is the case with a lot of my illustration commissions, this project has been top secret until recently 😁 The book launch is happening 1st of April 🎊 You can buy the book direct from the author @desertmumblog (who also runs Desert Mum blog) and from a load of bookstores & online. Published by Onwards and Upwards Publishers Ltd - @oupublishers. This is a book about two brave & bold Jewish women and it is a child-friendly retelling of a dramatic, amazing story. These women are regularly missing from books (especially children's books) so it has been extra special to visually celebrate them & help share their story. The author @desertmumblog has been a delight to work with and I am really chuffed to have worked on a project with themes so close to my heart. . . . . #biblestory #feminist #feminism #kidsbook #childrensbook #illustrationblog #illustrator #illustration #publishing #christian #storybook #jewish #jewishwomen #strongwomen #history #prelaunch #booklaunch #picturebook #contemporarychristian #kidsbible #history #newbook #beth_aulton_illustration #celebrate #onwardsandupwards (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9We-VCpaX6/?igshid=ph1tcdvlkyz5

Reposted from @desertmumblog ** CHILDREN'S BOOKS ABOUT WOMEN ** For years now, my family has been collecting books about empowered women through the ages. They inspire and inform us, and help to balance out all the stories about men that line our bookshelves with no effort. Here are a few of our favourites. But one thing always irked me: where were the Biblical women? The ones to teach my kids that God has a plan for us all, regardless of gender? I mean, these women ARE in the Bible, but which 4 year old is going to delve into the book of Judges to find them, eh? So that's why I've written "Deborah and Jael". Actually "written" is the wrong word. I haven't written their story: God did. God created two women with unique talents, and put them in positions of influence and authority at just the right time to overthrow a corrupt King. Maybe a better verb would be "retold". I've retold the story of D&J, in rhyme, and the marvellous @beth_aulton_illustration has made the tale come alive like nothing else, with gloriously vibrant illustrations. Because ALL kids deserve to have these stories brought to them from the Bible. All kids deserve these stories to come alive for them in picture and rhyme. Not just girls. In fact, perhaps this story is mainly for boys. My daughter has no problem with the fact she has been created in God's image and that God has good works for her to do. But as she grows up, she will need the men around her to believe this too. I have three sons, and am passionate that they grow up knowing - like their sister - their unique value on earth as a child of God, and to respect the unique value and contribution of those around them, regardless of gender. Deborah and Jael doesn't release till 1st April - but subscribers can get their hands on an exclusive pre-launch (and signed!) copy this weekend - details coming in Friday's email.

Working on this has been a BIG SECRET that can now be shared! Such fun 😁 Reposted from @desertmumblog ** COVER REVEAL ** Oh wow, I can hardly breathe for excitement! . . . Back in 2017 I read @sarahbessey's incredible 'Jesus Feminist'. She makes a side comment about how you don't see children's books about Biblical women when you visit a Christian bookstore. . . . It's late night and there is literally nothing to do except go to bed - but since I'm permanently exhausted in the way that a few extra hours' sleep won't fix, I start fiddling about with a rhyming version of the story of Deborah from the Book of Judges. Why not? Sleep can wait. . . . Deborah, after all, has a story worth telling. Wise judge, fearsome army leader visionary. It's all good. And Jael killed a man with a tent peg. (Don't worry, I've softened that bit for our sensitive young readers.) . . . Fast-forward to 2018 and the manuscript is ready but publisher after publisher rejects it...until early 2019, when the wonderful @oupublishers agree to take a punt on this unknown author with her crazy 'Elaine Storkey meets Julia Donaldson' project. . . . And now, another year (and several hurdles) later, this book is actually being released! And it has an amazing cover, courtesy of the publishers and my marvellous illustrator @beth_aulton_illustration! . . . The whole thing is SO colourful and wonderful and I can't wait to unleash it on you very soon! But for now, please enjoy this beautiful cover, which shows two feisty females God used in His plans to defeat an evil King. . . . #biblestory #feminist #feminism #kidsbook #childrensbook #illustrationblog #illustrator #illustration #publishing #christian #storybook #jewish #jewishwomen #strongwomen #history #prelaunch https://www.instagram.com/p/B74EX4aJBUa/?igshid=vq7ravm0kjcp
