"Book of Mormon Stories. No. 1." by George Q. Cannon is a children's illustrated adaptation of the Book of Mormon narrative, published in the early 1890s. The book is specifically designed for young children, making the complex stories of the original scripture accessible and understandable for them. Its primary focus is to introduce the foundational stories of the Book of Mormon, particularly the journey of the prophet Lehi and his family from Jerusalem to the Promised Land, as well as the important teachings and lessons that arise from these narratives. In this work, readers are introduced to key characters such as Lehi, Nephi, and the other members of Lehi's family as they experience trials and divine guidance during their journey through the wilderness and across the ocean to the Americas. The book outlines significant events, including Lehi's prophecies, Nephi’s faith and leadership, the tensions within the family, and the ultimate arrival at the Promised Land, where they establish their new home. The stories highlight moral lessons about faith, obedience, and the importance of following God's commandments, while also illustrating the consequences of rebellion and disobedience, particularly as seen in the attitudes of Laman and Lemuel toward Nephi. Through vivid illustrations and simple language, this book serves as both an educational resource and a means of imparting spiritual values to young readers.
