This is a wonderful little book for parents of babies and toddlers, affirming that they can share faith with their children even at the youngest ages. Touch, music, words, finding a community of faith: these are just some of the simple ways that parents can help their children know a loving savior.

Full of scripture verses and anecdotes, this book is accessible to young busy parents as well.

I felt so inspired after reading this book! God has given parents such an incredible responsibility but also great honor to cultivate an awe inspiring faith in our kids. We serve a God that is a creator the Creator of the heavens and earth so we too can be creative with our parenting as we act in his image! Wow God has made an interesting world!
