The Top 6 Kid Books We Think Everyone Should Read


You asked, so here it is: the top six kid books we love that I think everyone should read, whether they're reading them to a kid or just to themselves. 



Main point: Never take anything from a stranger or go anywhere with a stranger.

Teaches kids not to be fearful of strangers but to understand that some strangers do have bad intentions and that you can never be too careful. 




Main point: God made all of you WONDERFUL, but some parts of you are so wonderful they're not for sharing with others.

Teaches kids to understand safe/healthy touch, empowers them to say no when they feel uncomfortable, no matter what kind of touch it involves, and discusses the difference between keeping secrets and surprises. 



What Am I Feeling

Main point: A feeling is just a feeling; it doesn't have to control you.

Teaches kids to name their feeling, own actions they may exhibit that are motivated by their feelings but are unkind and then reconcile with whomever they took their feelings out on.




Main point: It doesn't matter what other people think; all that matters is what God thinks.

Teaches kids that God made them, that He doesn't make mistakes, and addresses the authority we have to not receive negative words spoken over us.




Main point: There are good pictures, and there are bad pictures, and bad pictures are dangerous.

Teaches kids that pictures/images are everywhere, and while many are good, many are also bad; empowers them with a simple plan to follow if/when they are exposed to pornography.




Main point: Jesus is speaking to us throughout every story of the Bible. 

Teaches kids who Jesus is and helps kids understand the themes of the Bible and that Our Creator desires a relationship with them. 


I can remember some stories my parents read to us as young children, and their messages have stuck with me to this day. They say you can't read enough to your kids. Let's make sure we're reading them books that will prepare them for the world they will all too soon become a force in.

Until next time,
