Our God Is Bigger Than That! begins as the sun rises on the farm, and baby farm animals face their individual fears throughout the day. All discover a simple truth — God is much bigger than their fears. As the sun sets on the farm, the farmer's little daughter is headed to bed, yet she is afraid of the dark. She faces her fear, too. The same stanza "God's greater than your greatest fear. He knows just where you're at. No matter what you face in life — Our God is bigger than that!" repeats throughout the book, with only the source of the fear changing in each spread.

Scripture meets sheep in a sixty-day devotional made just for kids!

All God's Creatures: 60 Days of Devotions for Animal-Loving Kids encourages habits of Scripture reading, prayer, and journaling through 60 different entries by over a dozen children's authors, including best-selling author Michelle Medlock Adams.

Full of bright illustrations, this sweet devotional explores a variety of wonderful animals God created and the amazing traits each one exhibits to show us how to be more Christ-like. This is the perfect tool to inspire young hearts to draw close to the Lord.

Experiencing loss—in the varied ways it comes to us—affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling. Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children.

Fly High tells the story of a sister and a brother who love watching a mama bird care for her babies until the unthinkable happens—the mother bird dies. In this story, the reader is taken on a journey through various stages of emotions associated with grief.

It ends, however, with baby birds learning to fly, and the promise of hope that is found in new beginnings. With hope-filled language featured in the layered-text format, our desire is that each reader will discover it’s okay to have the feelings he or she is having and that each new day holds healing, hope, and promise.

Themes:

• Loss

• Feeling sad, angry, lonely or scared

• Grief

Crosby was teeny. Even for a miniature dachshund. In fact, he was the teeniest dachshund in the whole town. But his small stature and big heart made Crosby one of the best burrowers in all of the North Pole. That’s why he couldn’t wait to enter the North Pole Animal Olympics and burrow his way to a gold medal.

Finally old enough to compete, Crosby goes to town to register on December 23, but when he encounters lots of hecklers and bullies who make fun of his small size, Crosby loses his confidence. With his tail tucked between his legs, he burrows as fast and far away from town as he can, running smack dab into a stranded Santa and his divine destiny.
