Engaging children worldwide, this multi-million selling children's Bible is now available in a super-readable edition to help every child unlock the enjoyment of reading Bible stories.

The Lion Children's Bible continues to be the top choice for use in homes and schools. This new edition uses a unique font to make reading easier, even for dyslexic and reluctant readers.

All the significant stories of the Old and New Testaments, from Genesis to the book of Acts, are retold in clear, simple language that children understand. The stories may be read as individual stories, yet they form a continuous narrative, closely following the 'one story' of God and God's people contained in the whole Bible.

Attractively presented, this rich storytelling starts with the creation, continues through the story of the people of Israel and the life of Jesus, and ends with Paul's shipwreck and arrival in Rome. Accompanied by appealing and colourful illustrations, these timeless stories can be enjoyed by all children, whether reading alone or with the help of an adult.

The Lion Children's Bible has been translated into over 40 languages and is a trusted and faithful retelling for each new generation of children.

The Grace Typeface, designed for inclusive reading, has been developed by 2K/DENMARK in collaboration with Cambridge University's Research Department. This innovative typeface is meticulously crafted to enhance readability and comprehension for individuals with dyslexia and other reading challenges. The type design shows gravity to the baseline, and the letter design is made to achieve the maximum variations to create beautiful words that are easier to read and remember.

The Grace Typeface transcends conventional typography by prioritising inclusivity and accessibility without compromising aesthetic appeal. Its thoughtful design empowers individuals of all abilities to engage with written content more effectively, fostering a more inclusive reading experience for diverse audiences worldwide.
