Sharing Jesus With Your Grandchild Can Start With One Storybook
How do you make faith feel real to a little child?
You want them to know how much Jesus loves them. You want faith to be something they can talk about with you—in the middle of an ordinary day.
But finding the words can be difficult. A young child may have a hundred questions, a short attention span, or a feeling that seems much bigger than they are.
A story gives you something concrete to share: a character they can relate to, a choice to talk about, and pictures you can explore side by side.
That’s the idea behind the With Jesus Series by G.L. Charles. Each book connects a familiar childhood theme with Jesus and a story-related Bible verse.
The 11 books in Series 1 cover courage, love, kindness, sharing, learning, talents, perseverance, calm, giving, honesty, and gratitude. Each has 32 illustrated pages, with a main age recommendation of 3–8.
They’re a thoughtful Christmas gift to open together—and stories you can keep reaching for after the decorations come down.
Take a look inside as you read. You’ll find real interior pages below, with full-size illustrations.
Here are 11 books to help you share Jesus with the child you love:
11. With Jesus I Am Brave BY G.L. CHARLES

Give a nervous little heart a story about facing fear with Jesus.
A new classroom. An unfamiliar place. A moment when they wish you could stay a little longer. Courage can feel like a big word until you talk about a situation a child recognizes.
With Jesus I Am Brave brings bravery into a colorful story you can explore together. It gives you an opening to talk about their worries and what it means to trust Jesus.
Read it before a new experience, then ask: “What could we pray about together?”
10. With Jesus I Love BY G.L. CHARLES

Make room for a conversation about the love you want them to carry through life.
Some of the most meaningful things we tell children are also the simplest: you are loved, you matter, and you can show love to others.
With Jesus I Love connects that familiar word with faith. As you turn the pages, you can talk about what loving someone looks like in the little choices of an ordinary day.
A thoughtful book to read close together—and a lovely place to write a personal note before Christmas.
9. With Jesus I Am Kind BY G.L. CHARLES

Help a child put pictures and everyday choices to the word “kindness.”
Inviting someone to play. Offering a hand. Choosing gentle words. These are the small moments in which a conversation about kindness can begin.
With Jesus I Am Kind gives you a story to read and discuss through the lens of faith. The colorful illustrations let children point, notice, and tell you what they think.
Finish with one simple question: “Who could we show kindness to today?”
8. With Jesus I Share BY G.L. CHARLES

Turn “That’s mine!” into an opportunity to talk about caring for someone else.
When a favorite toy is involved, sharing can feel very personal. A story gives you a calmer moment to explore that choice together.
With Jesus I Share puts sharing at the center of a Jesus-focused story. Read it side by side, talk about the characters, and invite your child to connect the idea with their own day.
You’ll have a familiar story to return to the next time someone asks for a turn.

7. With Jesus I Am Smart BY G.L. CHARLES

Encourage a child who is still discovering what they can learn.
Learning something new can come with questions, mistakes, and the temptation to compare ourselves with someone else. Children need room to ask, practice, and keep exploring.
With Jesus I Am Smart opens a faith-centered conversation about learning. Use the story as a starting point to notice your child’s questions and celebrate the effort they bring to something new.
A meaningful addition to storytime at home, in homeschool, or after a day at school.
6. With Jesus I Am Talented BY G.L. CHARLES

Celebrate the gifts that make your child uniquely themselves.
One child loves to sing. Another builds, draws, helps, or tells stories. Talking about talents can be a lovely way to notice what brings your child joy.
With Jesus I Am Talented gives you a Jesus-centered starting point for that conversation. Explore their interests, talk about practice, and consider how they might use a gift to bring joy to someone else.
Let the story lead to a moment of encouragement: “Here’s something special I notice about you.”
5. With Jesus I Don’t Give Up BY G.L. CHARLES

Have a story ready for the next time they say, “I can’t do it.”
In this book, a little girl learning to ride her bike has a familiar challenge in front of her. It’s an easy moment for a child to connect with their own attempts at something new.
With Jesus I Don’t Give Up brings perseverance and trust in Jesus into the conversation. Pause over the pictures and talk about what trying again might look like for your child.
Read it at their pace, then choose one small next step you can encourage together.

4. With Jesus I Am Calm BY G.L. CHARLES

Give big feelings a gentle place to be heard.
When a child feels overwhelmed, finding words can be hard. Reading together offers a quiet moment to notice feelings, ask questions, and listen.
With Jesus I Am Calm pairs a relatable story with Scripture from Mark 4:39. You can talk about the feelings in the pictures and explore the Bible connection together.
Keep it within reach for a quiet read—at bedtime or whenever there is room to pause together.

3. With Jesus I Give BY G.L. CHARLES

Bring the joy of giving into a season filled with wish lists.
Christmas offers so many chances to talk about what we hope to receive. It also gives us a wonderful reason to ask what we can share.

Ask, “Who could we give to?” and let the story become part of your family’s Christmas preparations.

2. With Jesus I Tell the Truth BY G.L. CHARLES

Make honesty a conversation you can have before the difficult moment arrives.
It can be hard for a child to tell the truth when they are worried about getting something wrong. A story lets you talk about honesty while the focus is on the characters.
With Jesus I Tell the Truth gives you a faith-based way to explore that choice. Read, listen to what your child notices, and talk about why truthful words matter in a family.
A useful story to return to as you encourage honesty with patience and care.

1. With Jesus I Am Thankful BY G.L. CHARLES

Help them notice the gifts that never come wrapped in paper.
The people who care for us. A meal shared together. A chance to play, learn, or help. Gratitude can begin with noticing the good in a very ordinary day.
With Jesus I Am Thankful gives thankfulness a story of its own. It’s a natural book to read around Thanksgiving, at Christmas, or as part of a quiet family moment any time of year.
Close the book and take turns naming something you’re thankful for. Their answer may be the best part of storytime.
