Say and Pray Bible

After looking up different children's bibles on the internet and at bookstores, we decided on "Say & Pray Bible First Words, Stories, and Prayers," by Diane Stortz. This bible is perfect for many reasons. It is going to be gifted to newborns and is age appropriate for babies, toddlers, and young children. It's colorful, the pictures are appealing, and most of all children will be exposed to God's word. The teacher in me loved this board book because it labels everything! It is such a teaching moment for children and their caregiver. It is very basic with each page stating a short story, giving a verse from the bible, and ending with a short prayer that the child can say. I absolutely love how interactive it is and how it teaches children to talk to God. I think people often don't know how to talk to God and it can be as simple as these prayers. I love that there is a verse on every page, it may just encourage the caregiver to look it up in a bible. Or it may be the only scripture they've ever read in their life! We will also be getting stickers made to put on the back of each book where parents can fill out their newborns information as a keepsake. I can't wait to begin this mission!
