Any child who has ever scaled a tree will take delight in hearing a parent read at bedtime, "Jesus, I feel close to You when I sit way high up in a tree . . . I remember how Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see You better--and You looked up to find him there! "
This charming, beautifully illustrated book invites children to compare their own experiences with vividly presented scenes from Jesus' life such as working side-by-side with Joseph in his carpenter's shop, being "lost" in a crowd, to enjoying a picnic with friends, and, finally, Jesus' death and his victorious resurrection. Children of every age and denomination will draw intimately closer to Jesus, and receive timely reassurances in the struggles, fears, challenges and victories that face us all--big and small.
With stirring illustrations by Phyllis Saroff creatively melding our times with ancient Bible times, this book is like no other.
