This simple story teaches children the biblical model for praying
in Jesus' name and not for their own wants. Kids can take comfort
that God hears and answers their prayers when they ask for the
things that are important to Him and His Kingdom. Someone told TJ
the squirrel that he could ask for anything in Jesus' name and it
would happen. All the nuts in the entire forest? Done. Never to
have to work hard again? Sure, no problem. To have a big tree
house? Why not? All TJ needs to do is ask for anything he wants and
make sure to say the magic words, "In Jesus's name." After all,
isn't that how prayer works? Your child will learn along with TJ
that praying in Jesus' name means asking for what the Bible says is
important to Jesus-things like obedience, hard work, and
thankfulness-not just whatever we want. Help your child develop a
lifelong habit of effective, biblical prayer.
Happy is an adventurous little crab whose world is suddenly turned
upside down (literally!) when a mama and her son discover his
large, unbroken shell while on vacation at the beach. After
deciding to keep the shell as a souvenir, the boy unexpectedly
feels the crab move inside and is suddenly faced with a decision:
take him home or let him go. His compassion for the crab and
thoughtful decision to release him gently reminds readers of the
importance of selflessness and highlights how our environment,
relationships, and experiences contribute greatly to our happiness.
The Happy Crab is based on a true story experienced by Kevin,
Layla, and their son, Steevenson, and you can see a video of the
actual shell and crab at TheLetteredCottage.net/TheHappyCrab.
This lyrical adaptation of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 introduces young
children to the "Shema," a sacred statement of belief that has been
recited in the morning and evening through the ages, including by
Jesus Himself. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you
today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk
about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your
hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes
of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:4-9 For centuries,
followers of God have started and ended their day by saying the
Shema, a five-verse passage in the book of Deuteronomy, as a
twice-daily reminder to love God with all of their heart, soul, and
strength. Written in rhyme for infants through four-year-olds,
Hear, O Little One is a colorful and creative adaptation of the
Shema. This innovative board book is intended to be read in the
morning and then flipped over and read in the other direction for a
different version at nighttime. Help your child develop a lifelong
love of God and a deep reverence for God's Word with this
one-of-a-kind children's book.
