When I saw that this book was out in board book format, I was thrilled! Our full-length picture book copy is a favorite of mine, but it’s long for my toddler. I think the author/publisher did an excellent job of condensing the story into a board book.

I was so excited to see that this board book was being offered!

This smooth, seamless book briefly covers the gospel story, addressing creation, the fall, and God’s presence in the temple, and Jesus’s arrival, obedience to God, death, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. The book concludes with the message that because Jesus has taken our sin away, we can be friends with God and one day live with Him forever.
