Tuck the most precious stories from the Bible into your children's hearts with these beautiful, newly released books from The Good Book Company!

About This Book:

Part of the Very Best Bible Stories series

In this faithful and fun account of Genesis 1, children 2-4 years old will discover how God made his very good and wonderful creation. Children will learn that God used every shade of the rainbow, and so many more!

My Review: As a Christian parent, I’m always searching for fun ways to incorporate God’s Word into our daily lives and teach my daughter more about God and His plan for us. What better way, than through stories and books. I love that this adorable little series feature Bible stories in a fun, enjoyable way.

God’s Very Colorful Creation uses vibrant, joyful illustrations and simple words to paraphrase what Scripture says about the story of Creation in Genesis, chapter 1, encouraging littles to behold God’s creation with awe and wonder...

The book teaches children what God made on each of the six days He worked and how He rested to enjoy His creation on the seventh day. It is engaging and speaks of the many wonderful colors of the rainbow that can be found in the world around us, making it a point to use exciting, descriptive words and various, alternative color names.

In this particular book, on the sixth day, when God created man and woman, the illustrations and words allude that God created multiple people at once, in various ethnicities. While I want my young daughter to understand that all people are created in God’s image, regardless of skin color or cultural background, this story deviates from Scripture, as we know God only created Adam (man) and Eve (woman) on the sixth day. This could be confusing to some children who have an understanding of the Creation story already. However, the message behind the book is still Scriptural in that God created people and asked them to multiply, thus creating many different ethnicities and skin/hair colors, and He called it good.

A definite recommendation from me for your little one’s library!

In this faithful retelling of a classic Bible story, children 2-4 years old will discover how God used Esther to protect his people from an evil plan. Children will learn that God's plans to rescue his people never fail. Contains bright, fun-filled illustrations by Jennifer Davison.

My Review: As a mother to a daughter it is my hope and prayer that she grows up to know God’s word, live for God and stand strong for His principles, with bravery, just as Queen Esther did.

Esther and the Very Brave Plan summarizes the story of King Ahasuerus, Esther, Mordecai and Haman, as told in the book of Esther in the Bible. This delightful retelling makes this complicated and sinister Biblical history very simple for small children to understand, while also instilling in their hearts that God has a plan for everything and even if we don’t understand it, it will come true. It also encourages young hearts that God is always watching, planning and working to care for His people.

Throughout the story, there are repetitive words that make the story fun, engaging and drive home the message God gave us in the book of Esther. The illustrations are bright and eye-catching with the characters being expressive and colorful. For me, this book created many additional opportunities to start conversations with my daughter about the wickedness of Haman, the bravery of Esther and Mordecai and the faithful protection God offers His people - a truth I would love to tuck inside my daughter’s heart.

In closing, this is another definite recommendation from me for your little one’s library!
