Arthur<\/a>, as my children affectionally call this book, has been a favorite story in our house for many years. This book does a wonderful job of showing the characteristics of God in a fun and engaging way.<\/p>\n\n\n

Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers<\/a> is a series of small books with a big punch. These books explain the big ideas of the Christian faith in a way that is easy for children to understand. <\/p>\n\n\n

“You can do hard things,” is a mantra often repeated in our home. That is the big lesson in this tale<\/a> about a little lion who learns to be brave in order to save a friend. <\/p>\n\n\n

Technically, this<\/a> is not a picture book, as in it’s not telling one story. Yet, this science-based devotional is so good that I had to include it in this list.<\/p>\n\n\n

I love the Little Bible Heroes<\/a> series so much. Each book is a double story. You can read the first story, then flip the book over and read a completely new tale. Who doesn’t love a 2-for-1 book deal?<\/p>\n\n\n

This rhyming picture book<\/a> shows children God sees all and knows their hearts, and that fact is something to take comfort in.<\/p>\n\n\n

Your family is sure to enjoy these picture books about faith as much as we do!
