Book Nook: Jack's Journey

 Author and educator Alejandra Breeden has published her debut children’s book that shares the charming story of Jack – a cheery donkey who must embark on an adventure to deliver a mysterious and precious gift. I had a chance to review a copy of this book.

The book is a colorful illustration of the journey Mary and Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem - through the eyes of their donkey. It's unique because there are fun facts and pieces of historical information that are interspersed with the story. The illustrations are bold and bright and the book is the perfect level for young kids. 

“I hope this book encourages children and parents or grandparents to discover history through a Biblical lens,” Breeden said. “My greater hope is that families feel encouraged to navigate the goodness and glory of God via this short and sweet introduction of Jesus Christ.”

 

Available through LifeRich PublishingBarnes & Noble, and Amazon
