Easter Storybook and Advent Storybook by Laura Richie Illustrated by Ian Dale

Laura Richie

Laura Richie is a homeschooling mom, registered nurse, and author. A missionary kid for several years, Laura confesses she didn’t truly understand her need to be rescued until later in life. Now she delights in sharing the beauty and grace of her Rescuer, especially through her books. Laura lives in Oklahoma with her husband and four children.

Both The Advent Storybook and The Easter Storybook are written simply and clearly, sharing truth in a way that children can understand and remember. Through her books, Laura desires to draw families together around the hope we have in Jesus, who came to make all things good and new again. From ancient times up to the present, God has been at work. He invites each of us into His story of bringing people close to Himself, each other, and all of Creation once again.

The Advent Storybook

The Advent Storybook: 25 Bible Stories Showing Why Jesus Came invites readers on a chronological journey through ancient history, tracing God’s recurring promise to rescue us. Including people such as Adam, Abraham, Ruth, and Isaiah, The Advent Storybook paints a sweeping picture of God’s plan to send a Promised Son who would make all things good and new again, like they were in the beginning.

The Easter Storybook

The Easter Storybook: 40 Bible Stories Showing Who Jesus Is begins with Jesus in the Temple as a boy and ends with His appearances after the resurrection, vividly portraying the life of the Promised Son of God. Each story adds a stroke to the portrait of the Rescuer who came to find what was lost and restore what was broken. As a family, discover who Jesus was and why He had to die, then celebrate His victorious rescue and return to life on Easter.

The Go & Tell Storybook

Jesus’ good work didn’t end when He returned to His Father—God’s Spirit came and continued the rescue! In The Go & Tell Storybook, follow along through 30 Bible stories that show how the Holy Spirit came and what Jesus’ friends did. Experience the adventures of Peter, Paul, and other believers from the Pentecost celebration through the Acts of the Apostles.
