This is our repeat-read every night for bed. My boy doesn’t often sit still for readings, but for this book he always listens quietly.
As someone who has been a person of faith from a young age, I’m well familiar with Psalm 23. Well, this adorable children’s book has breathed new life into that psalm for me and helped me see it from a different perspective.
