About this book

Fifteen verses about hope in the King James Version, from Jeremiah's thoughts of peace to Isaiah's wings as eagles. The book opens with the basics — pen strokes, the lowercase and capital alphabets — then gives each verse its own spread: the passage in small print to read first, two key words, one short phrase, and then every line in traceable script on four-line guides with a blank line underneath to write it yourself. Two free-practice pages sit at the back. US Letter, print at home, work through it in any order you like.
