Sam Lake, who now goes by Sam Baer, grew up on the tiny island of Jersey before setting off on adventures in not-quite-so-tiny England. Since 2011, he's been writing books about everything from imps and elves to Victorian fashion. It's a dream job - almost as good as being a superhero.
I read a chapter a night with my child. He looked forward to the next new story each evening and especially liked the illustrations. The stories were written in a way for children to understand although still sometimes a bit intense with themes of violence/death - but it is the Bible, after all. Either way, a great introduction to bible stories, just know it’s not totally washed over.
