Whether it's Selma Lagerlöf, Astrid Lindgren, or now Ylva Eggehorn: Swedish female storytellers strike the tone that captivates and delights children all over the world. The author, awarded by the Swedish Bible Society, came to faith as an adult and had the Bible explained to her not only by her pastor but also by a rabbi. Perhaps this is why her remarkably child-friendly approach to the Old Testament is so effective. In Eggehorn's children's Bible, the stories of the Hebrew Bible are among those that Jesus and his friends hear when they sit around the fire in the evening. Thus, they become part of the Jesus story. In Ylva Eggehorn's exciting and entertaining retelling of the Bible, children encounter not just individual "beautiful stories," but they also discover the red thread that holds the Bible together: it is the narrative of the Kingdom of Heaven.
