A parent would reach for this book when they want to introduce their young child to the foundational stories of the Christian faith in a way that feels approachable, safe, and comforting. It is an ideal choice for bedtime reading or for a family looking to establish a shared spiritual vocabulary through short, manageable narratives. This collection retells both Old and New Testament stories, focusing on themes of divine love, the beauty of creation, and the importance of bravery and trust. Doherty uses simple language that children as young as four can grasp, while the vibrant Usborne illustrations help hold their attention. It transforms ancient, sometimes complex texts into gentle moral lessons about kindness, gratitude, and the wonder of the world around us. It is particularly helpful for parents who want a soft entry point into religious education without overwhelming a child with dense theology.
