Following her Young David series, Fiona Veitch Smith turned to the story of Joseph with seven books published between 2016 and 2018. Joseph and the Rainbow Robe opens the series with the familiar coat of many colors, and the subsequent books follow Joseph through betrayal, slavery, and his rise in Egypt.

The seven installments cover the major episodes: the jealous brothers, Potiphar’s wife (Joseph and the Lying Lady), his time in prison (Joseph and the Forgetful Servant), interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams, and the reunion with his family. Like the Young David books, these present complex biblical narratives in a format young readers can follow.
