Disclosure: I received this book as part of the Tommy Mommy Program. The opinions shared are mine.
There are only a few things that my kids remember from their earliest years. Pets, favorite toys, and beloved books rank at the top of the list. We have books that were finally discarded because they were torn from their covered, taped until every page was slick with cellophane. It’s hard to imagine a more powerful tool than reading with a child. After all, it’s a practice that they’ll do for the rest of their lives. Starting early is so important! I loved sharing Bible stories with my children. If you have little ones, Jesus Calling My First Bible Storybook by Sarah Young would be a wonderful gift to share.
I’m a big fan of the Jesus Calling books in general. With this specific title, the Bible stories are quite simplified to make them understandable for children. As is typical of the Jesus Calling books, Sarah Young’s writing is very positive, and tends to focus on the goodness of God rather than fire and brimstone consequences. That’s a positive thing for me in this case. I want my children to first know the goodness of God, so that they feel His love from the very beginning.
The font used in this book is bold and chunky, making it easy for kids to learn to track text. Following each story is a simple statement that summarizes the story. A Bible verse accompanies each story as well. The illustrations are nicely shaded to give the drawings depth. Finally, the book’s pages are sturdy, perfect for little fingers to hold. This book would make a lovely gift for any child!
