What is Jonah about?

Jonah is a prophet who hears God’s call but chooses to run away. He boards a ship, yet a fierce storm soon puts everyone in danger. After Jonah is thrown into the sea, a great fish swallows him and carries him safely through the deep. Jonah prays, learns to listen and returns to the task he was given. Told with one simple word on each page, this gentle Bible story introduces little children to Jonah’s adventure and God’s care.
