9780310151517; Board Book; On Sale Date 2/6/2024

Inspired by Psalm 1, Strong’s lyrical text reminds little ones that God loves them and gives them strength. From Sally Lloyd-Jones, the author of the bestselling The Jesus Storybook Bible, and award-winning illustrator Jago, this uplifting board book encourages little ones to find strength in God’s great love for them.

My Thoughts:

Strong: Psalm 1 is a simple storybook that talks of a little tree being planted by a stream and how it grew up fruitful. Then, it changes to being close to God as the child grows up and how he can be happy to be close to God. There are few words, but with repetitive reading by a parent or loved one, those words can sink it over time. The book appears to be sturdy enough for a little one. The colors and pictures are calming. There are people of different skin and hair colors. It's not the typical board book, but I think it would make a nice addition to a little child's library.
