This is a fun commissioned piece for me to get to share because it is for a novella my mother wrote! She actually wrote two books:
- Daughter of Jerusalem, a novella about a young lady living in Jesus’ lifetime
- The You-Song, a picture book for children
I was honored to help on both these pieces and it’s been fun and educational to watch her walk through the whole process.
For more information on either book you can visit her website, JoanneOtto.com. Below you’ll see the bookmark I created for her books, which are similar to the business cards we did for her as well.
Here’s the description of Daughter of Jerusalem:
“Daughter of Jerusalem” takes its 21st-century readers on a journey back to the first-century world of a young rabbi named Yeshua—better known to us as Jesus. Mara, the young heroine of this story, gets to mingle with the crowds who come to hear him teach during his visits to Jerusalem and, finally, to meet him face to face in a brief, life-changing encounter—one that comes at no small cost to herself. For middle-grade readers who want to use the book as a springboard for deeper study, there are Bible references and questions on each chapter, as well as a glossary. For others, the story itself will be the full journey.
