Some Great Kid's Books

I'm out of town for a few days but wanted to share some books with you before I leave. These are children's books. Sweet books.

I love reading kid's books. When I research, I usually start in the children's section of the library. I find kid's books help me build a foundation for when I make my way to the big-people books. I believe the same can be said for those who have questions about God. Here are three books that stir the imagination, answer questions and are perfect gifts for children and adults alike.


When God created My Toes by Dandi Daley Mackall is a sweet rhyming, relational story. My favorite line is: "When God created my nose, did he know I'd sneeze in a wintry breeze? Did we kiss like Eskimos when God created my nose?" Doesn't the idea of rubbing noses with God put a yearning in your heart? What an opportunity to show the intimacy of God and teach a child what Psalm 139:13-16 truly means?

The illustrations by award winning David Hohn are no less than perfect. This is a fun book with beautiful illustrations and a wonderful message.

God Loves Me More Than That is also by Dandi Daley Mackall. It shows the depth of God's love with cute rhymes and exceptional illustrations by David Hohn. Both of these books will be treasured and read over and over again.
