Illustrations By Tony Midi
Picture Book
Little Mouse feels small and insignificant, especially compared to all the other animals in the Bethlehem house where he lives. He wishes he had a special talent to share or an important purpose to fulfill.
Then one night, a couple named Mary and Joseph arrive looking for somewhere to stay after a long journey. The usual guest room is full, but the family members offer radical hospitality and make space for Joseph and Mary to be comfortable and warm.
That same night, Mary gives birth to a baby boy named Jesus. Little Mouse wants to do something special for the new baby, but feels like he has nothing to offer.
Hear, O Little One: In the Morning and in the Evening
By Eric & Meredith Schrotenboer
Illustrations By Guy Wolek
Flip Board Book
For centuries, followers of God have started and ended their day by saying the Shema, a five-verse passage in the book of Deuteronomy, as a twice-daily reminder to love God with all of their heart, soul, and strength.
Written in rhyme for infants through four-year-olds, Hear, O Little One is a colorful and creative adaptation of the Shema. This innovative board book is intended to be read in the morning and then flipped over and read in the other direction for a different version at nighttime.
The Wandering Wise Men
By Eric & Meredith Schrotenboer
Illustrations By Joel Schoon-Tanis
Picture Book, Family Devotional, 3 Plush Wise Men
The gospel writer, Matthew, tells the story of the wise men in the Bible. But how much do we really know about these wise men from the East?
Who were the wise men? Where did they come from? Did they really follow a star? Why does Matthew include this story in his gospel? Why should it matter to us?
Explore these questions and dive deeper into the story of the wise men and the Bible through the historical, geographical, and cultural context of the wise men story.
Fall in love with the story of the wise men through the beautiful rhyme and vibrant illustrations in the children’s picture book. Engage the story as a family with the 37-day family devotional. Create memories by hiding the three plush toys around the house for children to find each morning.
From December 1 to January 6, the celebration of Epiphany, wander with the wise men and encounter the one true Light, Jesus.
