After you've illustrated Jonah and the Sailors, use this family guide to have a conversation about what you observed.
Briefly discuss the following as a family:
What was your favorite frame to illustrate in the storyboard of Jonah's first prayer?
Jonah is praying this prayer from inside the great fish. But in the fourth frame Jonah begins this prayer by telling God a story about a different prayer. Jonah tells a story about how he called out to Yahweh in distress. Frames 4-8 tell the story of Yahweh answering Jonah by causing him to sink to the pit of the sea.
Yahweh doesn't rescue Jonah by sending the great fish until the last frame on the first page. On the first frame of the second page, Jonah talks about how close to death he was when Yahweh finally sent the great fish to rescue him.
On the 2nd frame of page two, Jonah begins to compare himself to people who worship idols.
Jonah is about to contrast himself with the sailors. However, in the previous chapter, the sailors begin to worship Yahweh the true God, so it's interesting that Jonah chose not to pay attention to this.
Jonah “says” he will do the thing that the non-Israelite characters actually do. We have to continue reading the next chapters to see if he follows through.
