Explore the boundless potential of a child's future with this sweet book that encourages little ones to dream big, work hard, and know that God is with them every step of the way in this newly sized sturdy board book for little hands.

In this lyrical story, a young bamboo seed loves his time floating through the air, on his way to his new life . . . until he slams to the ground and finds himself stuck in the soil for a long, long time. He pouts and grumbles as the other seeds grow and become strong plants. When the bamboo sprout finally starts to stretch toward the sky, a panda arrives to nibble his stalks and dash his hopes once again.
But the wise moon offers words of comfort, assuring the bamboo sprout that the Master is at work in his life, and one day the little sprout will become part of all the wonderful things he saw below on his first journey . . . more than he could ever imagine.
Through this rich story, children can find encouragement during seasons of waiting, or times of transition, or while working hard to reach a still faraway goal. Just as the Master did for the bamboo sprout, God is molding young readers to fit His purpose for their lives too.

In Dream Big, My Precious One, a narrator wonders what a young child will enjoy as he or she grows up—sports, art, music? The narrator imagines all of the incredible things the child could become, from "a doctor or zoologist, a nurse or archaeologist" all the way to "a preacher sharing God's good news, a captain on a sailing cruise, a vet to cure sick kangaroos!" Upbeat and playful, this book will inspire children to passionately pursue their dreams, knowing that God will be with them every step of the way.

What happened on the first Christmas day? That Grand Christmas Day! answers that question, imagining the people, objects, and animals that played a part in the first Christmas ever. Luminous illustrations bring life to the story, which builds on itself with each turn of the page, right up to the grand moment of Jesus' birth! The repeating text makes it easy for little ones to join in and help "read" the story. Perfect for sharing with children during the Christmas season, this book makes for a fun and interactive story time.

These quirky and colorful animals are having a farmapalooza to celebrate God’s love and thank Him for His creation!

But with all creation celebrating the risen Lord of Lords, it may not have been so quiet! The Quiet Crazy Easter Day imagines the crazy celebration that might have occurred when Jesus arose . . . a festive day filled with chirps and croaks, shouts and coos and loop-de-doos.

Charmingly illustrated, this book is a great way to introduce children to the good news of Easter.

With cows mooing and donkeys braying, it may have been a very noisy night!

That Grand Easter Day! answers that question in a repetitive, memorable fashion that builds on itself with each turn of the page!

A bright and cheerful reminder that God made each of us special and unique Here is a message that every parent will want to share with his or her child: You're brilliantly created and there's no one else like you!
