New Products: Children's Books

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- LDS Publishers have several new children's books this season, including a couple that try to meet the demand for scripture stories written for the very young. Cedar Fort's "Jr. Book of Mormon" and Deseret Book's "My First Old Testament Stories" both are illustrated stories drawn from the scriptures and written for children aged 2 and up.

Also new is "I Am a Child of God," pairing Greg Olsen's artwork with the timeless LDS message that all are God's children. And, recently released is Excel Entertainment's tribute to the movie "Brigham City," featuring songs by various artists written in reaction to the film.
