When Jonas was in the whale

"When Jonas Was in the Whale" is a beautiful collaboration by the duo behind "How Midas Got Donkey Ears" (Zilveren Griffel and Vlag&Wimpel 2019), Maria van Donkelaar and Sylvia Weve. The stories from the Old Testament are retold in verse, with stunning illustrations. The influences of the Old Testament can be found everywhere, from art and music to proverbs and sayings. In this luxuriously designed book, Maria van Donkelaar beautifully depicts King Solomon and David and Goliath in long poems, the Exodus from Egypt, and Daniel in the lion's den. Sylvia Weve's sparkling illustrations perfectly complement the playful poems and give this unique Bible story a modern touch. A delight to read (aloud) and admire!
