“The Story of Jonah” by Alice Joyce Davidson is an enchanting tale that invites readers to follow Alice through a giant magic screen into Bibleland for another captivating Bible story. In this beautifully illustrated picture book, Alice encounters the scene of Jonah and the fish. The old Bible story is told with grace and charm, and the illustrations by Victoria Marshall bring the narrative to life.
In this timeless story, Jonah disobeys God’s word and is thrown overboard from a ship, only to be swallowed by a fish. It is only when Jonah repents for his sin that he is miraculously spat out of the fish’s mouth back onto the shore. From there, he goes on to spread God’s word and follow His commands as previously asked.
