Children's Day Book Ideas

 

Children's Day is just over a week away - it is the second Sunday in June and yes, it is a real holiday - not one invented by me! If you are looking for a gift idea for the children you love, consider the following books . . . 

the little answer book for children - this book is available at the following link and will help you teach the children you love why they are able to believe God is real, know science and God go together, God is good, and the Bible is true. As you work through the books you will be able to help them journal the things they learn and participate in activities to help them remember. (This book does present the Evolutionary Creationist view.)

Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children - is a book written by Lynda and her three grandsons to help children learn to talk with God. (It is available in print form from Amazon at this link and as a digital PDF in our Book Store at this link.) If we want the children we love to learn to walk closely with God, they need to learn to talk with Him. Praying Deeper Through the Psalms - Children's Edition is designed to help children - preschool through Middle School age - learn to do exactly this by praying the Psalms back to God. In this book you will find 52 weeks of Scripture prayers from the Book of Psalms and space for children to record their own prayer requests and how God answers. With Praying Deeper Through the Psalms for Children the children you love will learn how to talk with God - and will make their way through the Book of Psalms a thoughtful way as well.

Bedtime Fun with The Little Ginormous, Humungous, Hairy, One-Eyed Monster Boy's Adventures!
In "The Little Ginormous, Humungous, Hairy, One-Eyed
Monsters' Adventures", you will find two stories - “
There are Teeny, Tiny, Itty, Bitty, Not-so-Hairy, Two-eyed People Children Under My Bed!” where children will identify with the little ginormous, humungous, hairy, one-eyed monsters when they think they see a peculiar, scary, and terrifying teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, not-so-hairy, two-eyed people child under their bed! Of course when grandma monster tells the monster boys there can not be a people child under their bed because the people children are at their grandma's and poppa's house on a sleepover, it opens up an important conversation about how the little monster boys are really very much like the little people children.

In “The Little Ginormous, Humongous, Hairy, One-Eyed Monster Boys & Their Not-So-Peculiar, Scary, or Terrifying Discovery!” the little monster boys discover teeny, tiny, itty, bitty, not-so-hairy, two-eyed people children are moving in to a house down the street, so they decide to see for themselves if they are really peculiar, scary, and terrifying - or not.

In these books children will discover, along with the little ginormous, humungous, hairy, one-eyed monsters they are able to make friends with children who may not look like them. Just because they do not look the same, it does not mean they are “peculiar, scary, or terrifying” because we all are very much the same, whether we look alike or not.

illustrate my own
If you are not an artist, or artistic person, when you see a book for which you need to provide the illustrations, you may think it is not the book for you. But, in this case with the illustrate my own Known Bible Hero, the illustrate my own Unknown Bible Hero books, and the illustrate my own Important Things Jesus Wants Me to Know books nothing could be farther from the truth! These books give you the unique opportunity to engage with the children you love in ways you never have when you read a book about a real Bible person, as you and/or they will be providing the illustrations, and you will get to talk about what is happening, think through what the Bible person is saying, and basically really pay attention to the details so you are able to provide the illustrations! Just think about the fantastic conversations you will be able to have about the Bible people and how what they learned applies to you as well!

Any of these books will make a wonderful gift for the children you love this Children's Day!
