I know I am not the only one looking for a solid, biblical children's book. And I have had a hard time finding one that I love until now.
The Big Picture Story Bible by David R. Helm, illustrated by Gail Schoonmaker.
This book gives an overall picture of God's redemptive plan for creation. Instead of isolating specific Bible stories or giving moral lessons, this book shows the overall theme of the Bible in a survey format. It is an amazing foundation and framework for children. The words are accurate, theological, simple and short. The pictures are accurate, colorful and provide opportunities for discussion. This is an excellent book. It is labeled ages 4-8 but my 18 month old loves this book and let's us read chapter after chapter to her every night. So I don't tell you to go out and buy many things, but this is one book you should definitely buy.
My mom bought matching aprons for Ellie and I over Christmas. Now every time I cook, she also needs to cook. It actually allows me to get more done! She keeps herself busy.
We had a great time in Texas over Christmas. Ellie was completely overwhelmed Christmas morning and had to take a nap in the middle of the festivities. But she came back stronger than ever! Here are some pictures of the day.
