Goodbook Partner Review: Two new Steph Williams Books: The Easter Fix and The Boy Who Shared His Sandwich

 Little Me Big God Book Series by Steph Williams

You can see the whole series above!  

These books are 6.7" by 6.7"inch books.  Made of thick paper, and the perfect size for little hands.

inside the book:


What I like about the book:
  • Physical size, structure, illustrations, limited words per page, illustrations. 
  • 1st page: A true story from the Bible. 
  • well-done illustrations- friendly, warm, unique. 
  • a wheelchair is included representing disabilities.  
  • How the event is re-told, through the lens of the broken world, a broken relationship with God- and a fixer.  Littles understand broken.  
  • how when Jesus is alive- the pages are blank saying "not here" 
  • Clear gospel presentation
  • Note for grownups in the back- so helpful and clear. 
  • Scripture Text included in full: Luke 24:1-8 in NIV (not my preferred translation)
What I wonder about the book:
  • When Jesus is on the cross- it mentions that the cross is for 'bad' people.  I think our culture is rejecting this word to describe people.  I think it would have been just as easy to say a place for 'sinful' people.  
  • The book uses the word broken which I like, but it never uses the word "sin."  





What I like about the book:  All the same as above.  Not a direct gospel message, but the concept is present.  

What I wonder:  How all will feel about the 'sandwich' concept, which the book does explain is 2 fish and 5 pieces of bread.  

Thankful to partner with the Goodbook company and review the books.
