To honor the 200th anniversary of the First Vision, Andrew Knaupp and Sal Velluto created a graphic novel adaptation of Joseph Smith's First Vision. The creators blend the known accounts of what happened in the Sacred Grove that day and truly bring a different experience to the reader. The illustrations are detailed and well-done and flow beautifully with the text. My children really enjoyed reading it and it sparked some conversations on Joseph's experience and how it affected not only him, but us. A great addition to our family library.
