Left Out is a rhyming reminder that while God didn’t give everyone the same
bodies or abilities, everything God left out is something He can use to write our
stories for His glory. First-time author Jill Atogwe compels kids to believe that
God uses what we see as our weaknesses to make us strong. By leaving some
things out, we can learn to trust Him instead of ourselves. After all, God sets
boundaries for His children in pleasant places (Psalm 16:5–8).
It’s dinnertime, and Hunter is ready to thank God for his meal. But then he
begins to wonder, What do all these words in the prayer really mean?“God
is good,” but so is ice cream. “God is great,” but so is baseball. And is God
great even when the game is rained out?
Hunter has a lot of curious questions about prayer, but thankfully he shares
how his parents have wisely answered them all. Young readers can learn
along with him and discover that Hunter’s conversation offers more than
expected.
God made all babies different and special, and He made families different
and special too.
All the Babies is a child’s first book about adoption. Author Kate Rietema
introduces readers to nine different kids who all entered their families in
unique ways. With sweet illustrations of diverse families and children, kids
will see people who remind them of themselves and their own families. The
sentences are fun and simple, laying the foundation for future conversations
about adoption, diversity, and belonging. By highlighting aspects of being
adopted that might make a child feel different from their siblings or peers,
All the Babies celebrates God’s creative design. Our differences make us
special.
Hebrews 11 remembers ordinary people who had big faith, and in this picture
book, kids can remember them too!
With illustrations from The Gospel Project, kids will meet faithful men and
women who took big risks to obey God. People like Able, Noah, Abraham,
Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and more believed God could be trusted
even when they couldn’t see Him working. The whole family can gather
’round this beautifully illustrated book from the One Big Story brand to read
snippets of some of the best Bible stories and remember that faith isn’t just
for people in the Bible—we can have big faith too.
