God is love. And I think Buby knows. If he doesn't, he feels. Our faith is all around us, always with us. Buby has some truly fantastical bibles for babies and young children, a whole bookshelf in fact, courtesy of friends and family. So I would like to suggest a few of our favorites. Each week we will post an entry in "Buby's Bible Study" for those who are interested.
I like "Little Boys Bible Storybook for Mothers and Sons" by Carolyn Larsen. It's a collection of 50 stories written for moms to share with their little guys. Each story is accompanied by a "Becoming a Man of God" section and a page called "A Mom's Touch." The series of course offers a version for fathers and sons as well as the geared-for-little-women counterpart titled "Little Girls Bible Storybook for Fathers and Daughters."
"Blessings Every Day: 365 Simple Devotions for the Very Young" with text by Carla Barnhill and illustrations by Elena Kucharik. I think this book will be around Buby Land for a long time. It's simple, endearing, and--though targeted for 2- to 5-year-olds--not something Little Dude is likely to outgrow. Every day of the year gets a page with a short inspirational story on it, stories a toddler can easily relate to life. In addition, there's a prayer from the bible highlighted at the top of each page and a two-line poem at the bottom. This illustrator happens to be the Care Bears artist, so the book is in a style I immediately recognized from my own childhood. What a great way to say goodnight. The Little Blessings series also includes "Who is Jesus," "God Loves You," and "What is God Like."
