Christian Books for Kids
Spiritual Development Tools

Christian books for kids can be used in creative ways to impart important Bible and life truths.  There's just something about a story; even Jesus used the parable stories to teach and remind.

Let's face it: reading is essential for all other academic areas, but also it is an incredible ability God has given to us.  Children's books can be tools to teach powerful life lessons and Christian values that can help shape our kids' spiritual development.

You don't have to be a Bible scholar to impact a child's spiritual life.  We can love and live for Jesus setting an example of following Him.  Along with that, reading Christian books for kids can equip us to connect God's Word with God's world in our everyday lives and the lives of our kids too!

Little Blessings Books

Christian preschool books

These adorable Christian books for kids may seem familiar to you because of the illustrations.  This is because Elena Kucharik is also the illustrator of the Care Bears from the 1980s.  

The sweet rhyming text will help both toddlers and preschoolers learn about God's great love for them.  We have given a copy of God Loves You to each of our grandkids, and they have loved hearing read over and over.
