You can already picture the wrapping paper on the floor. The excited smiles. The little voice asking, “Can we open this one?”

And as you choose their gifts, you may be hoping for something else, too: a simple way to share the faith that means so much to you.

The 11 books in With Jesus Series 1 give you a place to begin. These colorful stories connect Jesus and Scripture with things children know—sharing a toy, feeling afraid, telling the truth, or trying again when something feels hard.

Here are seven reasons to make room for them under the tree.

01 FAITH IN EVERYDAY LIFE

You can start with a moment they already understand.

A toy they want back. A mistake they wish they could undo. A feeling that seems bigger than they are.

The stories bring those familiar moments into a conversation about Jesus. In With Jesus I Am Calm, you can explore a child’s feelings, then turn to the story-related Scripture from Mark 4:39.

You don’t need a perfect lesson prepared. Open a book, look at the pictures, and ask what they notice.

02 A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MEANING

Giving and gratitude get a story of their own.

Christmas brings plenty of talk about what we want. Storytime can make room for what we can give.

With Jesus I Give and With Jesus I Am Thankful open up gentle conversations about generosity, gratitude, and the people we love.

Read one before wrapping a present together. Then ask, “Who could we do something kind for?” It’s a small way to bring your family’s faith into the season.

03 WORDS FOR THE TRICKY MOMENTS

“That’s mine!” can become a conversation.

Sharing and choosing kindness are big ideas for little hearts.

With Jesus I Share, With Jesus I Am Kind, and With Jesus I Love give you characters and choices to talk about together.

Later, when a similar moment comes up, you have a familiar story to return to: “Remember what we read? What could we try?”

04 THEIR “ONE MORE STORY” MOMENT

Faith can fit into the bedtime you already share.

Pull up the blanket. Let them choose a book. Read a few pages side by side.

Start with With Jesus I Don’t Give Up and a little girl learning to ride her bike. Talk about something your child is learning, too. Other evenings, let them choose a story about love, kindness, or thankfulness.

Each book has 32 illustrated pages. Read at your child’s pace, pause for questions, and return to a favorite whenever they ask.

05 A STORY. A VERSE. A PLACE TO BEGIN.

The Bible connection is right there.

Every With Jesus book includes a story-related Bible verse at the end. Both KJV and NIV wording are included, so there’s no separate translation edition to choose.

Bright pictures and familiar situations give younger children something to point to. The Scripture gives you something meaningful to explore together.

The main age recommendation is 3–8. These are read-together stories you can also use at home, in homeschool, or in Sunday school.

06 ESPECIALLY FOR GRANDPARENTS

Your gift can come with something only you can give.

Your time. Your voice. A little note in your own handwriting.

Before you wrap the books, write why you chose them. Pick the first one you’ll read together. If you live far apart, plan a story over a video call.

“Come sit with me” can be part of the gift. And when the decorations are packed away, those moments can keep going.

A NOTE YOU COULD WRITE

I chose these because I love you, and I love sharing Jesus with you.

I can’t wait to read our first story together.

Love, Grandma

07 A GIFT THAT GOES BEYOND DECEMBER

One gift opens a whole little library.

That means stories for giving, bravery, love, calm, kindness, honesty, perseverance, gratitude, and more—all waiting for the next “Will you read with me?”

Wrap the collection as one gift, or wrap individual books for your own family storytime tradition. You choose the rhythm. The stories are ready.

BEFORE YOU WRAP UP YOUR GIFT LIST

A few things you may be wondering.

Are these physical books or downloads?

This bundle contains 11 physical paperback storybooks from Series 1, with 32 illustrated pages in each book. The printable coloring books and other digital resources are separate products.

What ages are they best for?

Our main recommendation is ages 3–8. Some families also enjoy reading them with younger children alongside an adult or with older children. Interest and reading ability vary; the sample pages above help you judge the fit.

What Bible versions and denominations are they for?

The books include KJV and NIV Bible verses. They are not written for one specific denomination; they focus on shared Christian themes such as faith in Jesus, kindness, generosity, honesty, courage, and thankfulness.

Can I send them straight to my grandchild?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s shipping address at checkout. Personalized notes inside packages are not currently offered. To add your own handwritten message or wrapping, have the books sent to you first.
