Having a library of books that point kiddos to Jesus is a must. You might work for a church that owns a building or a church that rents a space on Sunday’s. Or you might be a parent or teacher looking for books for your library, but having books that speak God’s truth is so fun and necessary!
I’ve put together a list of sweet books that talk about how much God loves your kiddos, how He will provide for them, how He has big plans for them, and so much more!
I love having them out for free reading, or most likely looking at the pictures, and for volunteers/teachers to read to a child or group of children!
Here are some of my favorite books – in no particular order!
This is also an ongoing list, I will be adding to it as I find and read more books! If you have any books you or your kiddos love, I would love to hear about them! Comment below 🙂
