What to expect: Religion, Faith

I Have Faith, written by Davin Whitehurst and illustrated by Tiffany Brown, is a short picture book designed to help start discussions between children and their caregivers about faith in God. It is the story of one young boy, Danny, and his deep desire for a pet dog.

The book begins with a double-page spread with wide-open scenery and a pensive Danny introducing himself to the reader. He launches into the tale of how he learned to trust God and believe His word. Danny’s mother introduced him to faith by reading to him from the bible at bedtime each night. However, it is his longing for a dog and how a dog comes to be a part of his family that solidifies his faith and belief in a higher power—and the application that makes faith understandable at a day-to-day level for the reader. Note: Children that wish for a pet may have their desires strengthened.

At the end of Danny’s story there are clear, concise child/parent discussion questions such as: “What did Danny do to show he trusts God?” There is also a parent guide to help answer each question. The guide includes well-chosen scripture quotations taken from the New American Standard Bible or International Children’s Bible. The large white bubble writing really stands out against the paint on canvas illustrations, which is a nice draw for beginning readers. The artwork itself is gentle with soft muted colors and the characters have expressive faces.

All in all, this is a book with a specific purpose: introducing children to the concept of faith. Together, the author and illustrator complete the task. Parents looking for a way to introduce faith to children ages 4 through 8 will find I Have Faith to be a useful tool.
