Tapestry
When Danny's grandad dies, Danny is sad - and full of questions: 'Where is Grandad?' 'What is he doing?' 'Will I see him again?' Gran is sad too. But Gran wants to help Danny. It will take a little time, but with Grandad's old shoelaces, his favourite jumper and an old cloth cap, Gran sews a beautiful picture of heaven that helps Danny understand Grandad's new life. A gentle and insightful tool for any grown-up explaining the forever-after to a child.

Lion Storyteller Bible

The book is structured by storytelling styles, with pull quotes and boxes to keep the central material clear. This book is both a training manual and a resource. All the stories are taken from the Bible. It is published in the same popular format as 'Telling the Bible' and 'Telling the Gospel.'
Open the Book is a fantastic organisation that began in 1999 and since then thousands of school children have discovered Bible stories, during assembly and collective worship. Today, so many children could miss out on the great classic stories from the Bible – Noah, Daniel and the life of Jesus could be closed chapters if youngsters don’t get an opportunity to engage with the Bible. Open the Book is supported by Bible Society.
