Based on the hit streaming series, “Young David” offers early readers five new chapter books, each exploring a different trial and triumph from the young shepherd boy’s days in the wild. King David was known as a man after God’s own heart, and as a boy, he’s no different. Through this stunning and Biblically faithful book series, kids get to grow up with David as he finds his calling as a warrior, a shepherd, a poet, a king, and ultimately as a worshiper.
In Book 5: Worshiper, David settles down on the rooftop for the night and discovers someone hiding beside him. His younger sister, Zeruiah, can’t sleep and wants to watch the stars like David. Being very young, Zeruiah often feels left out. David responds with kindness and teaches his little sister how to hear God’s voice in her heart. Now she can experience something wonderful and powerful wherever she goes and never has to feel alone. David puts the lesson into a song, and both children start dancing, stirring up the whole neighborhood into a big musical number.
Each book in the series is generously supplied with some truly incredible black-and-white illustrations. Both kids and adult readers will enjoy seeing David come to life as he leaps off the page to thrilling and often humorous effect. While the art design is similar, if not identical, to the “Young David” show’s design, the book team has instead chosen to draw their artwork from scratch. It’s a commendable decision that lends an original and fun storybook feel to all five of David’s adventures.
“Young David: Worshiper,” adapted by Andy McGuire with illustrations by Carol Langley, earns our highest recommendation.
