About This Book

A collection of simplified retellings of Book of Mormon narratives written for very young readers, using direct, child-friendly language. The stories follow Lehi and his family from prophetic warnings in Jerusalem through journeys in the wilderness to arrival in a promised land, and include Nephi's visions along with practical episodes such as building a ship and a temple. Each episode is paired with illustrations that correspond to an accompanying classroom chart, making the volume suitable for Sabbath schools, primary associations, and home reading. The book also explains the making of family record plates and the giving of parental blessings, emphasizing faith, obedience, and record-keeping in accessible terms.
