It is important that the children in our church develop a love for learning about God and to be able to have trust in God’s promises which are always true. To help encourage this, the Librarians have shortlisted several books suitable for preschool children in our church library collection.
1. Did God Learn His ABCs? by Amy Gannett
The book’s engaging, rhyming text and bold, delightful illustrations make God’s omniscience (His all-knowing nature) understandable, relatable, and applicable for kids. Young readers will close the book knowing there’s no need to hide their sins, questions, or dreams from God – for He already knows everything about them.

2. A Time for Everything by Susie Poole
Life is full of opposites – happy and sad, noisy and quiet. A Time For Everything uses simple text and beautiful artwork to help prepare children for the ups and downs of life and natural rhythm of these things. Based on the well-known verse in Ecclesiastes, these delightful pages introduce children to key Bible concepts.

3. Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers: The Trinity by Joey Allen
The most foundational teachings of the Christian faith are presented in the Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers series at a level preschool and primary school children can understand. The Trinity teaches the Christian doctrine that there is one God who exists as three persons. This teaching is important for children to understand because our ideas about God affect every area of our lives.
