God is the Creator, the Healer, our Savior, and our Friend. And it is through God’s names that we understand His character. Now little ones will understand how great our God is by learning His names and all the ways He cares for them.
Show your little one the character of God with I AM: The Names of God for Little Ones. Capturing the names and characteristics of God through short Bible stories, Scripture, and bright illustrations, I AM: The Names of God for Little Ones helps you learn about God in a way that will draw even the youngest child. Children will close the book feeling loved, protected, and secure in the arms of the great I AM.
Written by bestselling author Diane Stortz and illustrated by Diane Le Feyer, I AM: The Names of God for Little Ones is a great companion to the bestselling Bible storybook I AM.

My thoughts: I AM: The Names of God for Little Ones is a board book with beautiful, glittery, touchy-feely cover that is sure to appeal to babies and toddlers and not only that but it packs a valuable message. The names of God. 

A couple of years ago, my pastor-husband preached a series of sermons about the names of God. It went into greater detail than this book, of course, and mentioned more names of God but this is a board book and not all inclusive. 

It mentions a name - like creator - gives a verse, in this case, Genesis 1:1 and writes a poem about it and  a brief prayer and of course, lots of colorful pictures.  It also gives the Hebrew or  Greek name for the name Elohim is Creator. 

My favorites is Healer and Provider - but of course, He is all that and more.

This is a great beginning devotional for babies and toddlers, can be expanded into more by reading scripture passages for early elementary or can be read in story book form for the snuggle bunny beside you.

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.
