Publisher’s Note: “Have you noticed the fingerprints of God in the world around us? The creation tells us about its Creator. His beauty in the trees. His power in the thunder. His eternity in the night sky.
Join a family on an unforgettable road trip, as they witness the wonder of God’s world. And see how all of creation confirms what the Bible tells us: Jesus loves me, this I know.
Experience a day filled with wonder!
Whether it’s a morning sunrise that reminds us that God makes everything new…
A frightening thunderstorm that shows us God’s power…
A gentle snowfall that demonstrates God’s grace…
Or nighttime crickets that help us rest in God’s peace…
…everywhere in creation, we see the craftsmanship of God, filling our world with His beauty and character!
Filled with joyful rhymes, stunning illustrations, adorable animals, hidden Bible verses, and the text of Jesus Loves Me at the very end — you and your kids will spend hours with this perfect bedtime book.”
Here is another delightful book based on the familiar and beloved children’s song “Jesus Loves Me”. In this version by Clay Anderson, a family goes on a road trip and in each new part of their adventure they discover that God is everywhere. Told from the viewpoint of a little girl, each turn of the page moves the reader from one adventure to the next to discover God’s presence in different ways. From the sunrise to butterflies and majestic mountain views, we are reminded that Jesus loves us and shows Himself in His beautiful creation.
The illustrations by Natalie Merheb are vibrant and engaging. My favorite part is the hidden bible verse reference on each page that brings further context to the revelation of God’s love.
“This I Know” is a wonderful reminder of God’s love, presence, protection, and provision in every moment of our lives. It would be fun to read this book and challenge your children to see how many examples they can find of ‘Jesus Loves Me’ in their day.
I love this book and it is now my “go to” baby gift book! Simple enough to hold the attention of very young children but with enough depth to keep the interest of pre-k and emerging readers as well.
