Wonderfully narrated and beautifully illustrated, The One O'clock Miracle is a compelling retelling of a famous Bible story of faith, grace and big, powerful words.

I have this theory that people are more open to truth when they are smiling than when they are frowning. And Catalina Echeverri’s illustrations for Tales that Tell the Truth just make me smile! They are bright and winsome and shot through with humor. Combined with texts that faithfully retell both individual Bible stories and God’s Big Story, they make for a winning series of picture books.

What a great book for kids (and for the adults who read it to kids)! Alison has captured the journey of the anxious father, desperate to find Jesus for his dying son. The story turns on the words of Jesus, "GO your son will live!” Alison’s use of repetition in her story and Catalina’s beautiful illustrations work together to capture the heart of this story from John 4.

A man with a burden makes a journey to Jesus and finds that Jesus' word is enough: that's the story. In this version, the excitement and urgency of the narrative is enhanced by visual graphic emphasis. Add to that enchanting illustrations, littered with unexpected, even quirky, detail and you have a book to delight the adult reader and child listener.
