When I was at primary school, we had Bible in Schools every Thursday morning for an hour. Bible in Schools is how I first learned about Jesus and became a Christian, so big shout-out to all the dedicated Bible in Schools teachers over the generations!
One year, our teacher used the Maori Postal Sunday School (now Maori Postal Aotearoa) curriculum. If we completed a full year of lessons, we got a prize.
I won a paperback “Story of Jesus” written in cartoon format.
I loved that book, and read it over and over again. It was actually part of a six-book series, but I never found any of the other books. Never mind: if a child was only going to have one book in the series, the story of Jesus was the best choice.
