Book Review: Little Words Matter – Jesus

deacon jesus book

In our house, we believe our children are never too young to start learning about our Savior. This is our little guy with one of his favorite new books from the ‘Little Words Matter’ series.

This book is simply titled ‘Jesus’. We don’t need a better title, do we?

He loves to get in this awesome Veggie Tales tent (we bought this at Family Christian Stores!) and “read” this book with its simple illustrations.

There are only 12 words in the whole book:

baby
temple
baptized
miracles
teacher
healer
loving
king
servant
cross
tomb
Jesus!

I think that so many times, we tend to make our faith harder to comprehend, especially for our little ones. It’s just because we want so badly for them to understand God’s awesome power and Jesus’ great love for them. But these twelve words simply say it all!

The “Little Words Matter” books are made especially for toddlers, and there are several available, including a Bible story book, one about Noah’s ark, and even one with sounds called “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”.

The books are hardcover board books, and are sturdy and durable so that they can stand up to your toddler’s “reading”.

The illustrations, although simple, are easy for toddlers to enjoy and recognize what they are seeing. Our little Deacon is especially taken with the servant Jesus washing someone’s feet. The illustrations have simple lines and are bright and colorful so that they catch a toddler’s attention.

I also noticed that there are several different ethnicities in the book, so regardless of your people group, you’re likely to find a figure in the book that your child will relate to.

As we mentioned before, the book only has 12 words – but these 12 powerful words tell the whole story of Jesus. Starting with “baby”, you can begin telling your child how Jesus was born. Right here at Christmas is a perfect time for that lesson!

This book, and other similar ones, are available at Family Christian Stores.
