As a parent of a pre-schooler, I read a lot of kids’ books. Some aren't great, and your child skips over it on the shelf in future. Some are firm favourites, and are dog-eared in no time. Whether we like it or not, this is true of Christian books for children as much as any other genre.

This new book from Melissa Kruger and Isobel Lundie is destined for the ‘favourite’ pile. It is a wonderful book. It’s so simple, and yet so delightful. Its message of reaching for the stars AND finding your true home in Jesus is one every child deserves to hear. I have never read a kids’ gospel book quite like this, and I don’t know why. It’s such an easy book to read to a child you care about, whoever you are to them. Read it to your child, grandchild, or tiny church friend and you will leave them in no doubt of how much joy Jesus brings you – and that’s a surefire way to get them keen on Him too.
