Thankful to continue to partner with New Growth Press and review pdf copies of their new series for toddlers. This book will be released on March 1, 2021.
What I like about this book:
- the book characters are friendly, represent diverse human beings, and are expressive, almost animated when you look at them and hear the words from the page.
- Scripture references on each page. Verses are all shared on the last page as well.
- "little one" is repeated throughout- making a connection to the listener and repetition.
- The book has cadence and rhythm that means littles will crave it repeated, over and over, especially because they are the main audience of the book.
- Parents of littles, this book will likely become a repeat favorite, and as the parent who read books so much that I memorized several, this book will not be nearly as annoying as the board books my 19 year old craved.
- the opportunity for conversation and sharing the personal decision of believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and being saved from sin. Will be an easy conversation.
- This book doesn't mince words- it talks about needing to be saved from sin, it talks about Jesus obeying for me, it talks about needing a King, but wanting to be my own king-- it's bold, direct, and honest. All with a lovely pattern that appeals.
- The book uses simple toddler words to convey the good news.
- It includes a letter to parents at the end with the verses referenced throughout. So well done!
What I wonder about the book:
- Jesus, as an illustration, is disproportionate? I think. I think it's his head size doesn't seem to match his body. Kids pick up on this stuff, but it's not as apparent in all the pictures that depict Him.
- How this tool will be used for sharing the Good News? It has so many possibilities.
- How kids will respond to it. I can't wait to read it with the littles I love.
