Part of the Little Me, Big God series.
Some boys and girls just like you came to see Jesus.
But someone said, “You’re too little. Jesus can’t talk to you.”
Were they right?
This engaging retelling of little children coming to Jesus from Mark 10 v 13-16 teaches pre-school children that you’re never too little to be God’s friend.

Such an encouraging book. the words and pictures get the impact of the story across really clearly. I've been getting my five year old to read it to me repeatedly. I think he enjoys it as much as I do. I am downloading the pictures so that my wife can use it with our toddler group tomorrow.
We love these books and love giving them as gifts! We especially appreciate that the characters are not all white - great for our kids to relate to.
Finally a great series of Christian toddler books! Found these so encouraging - short, affordable, faithful, engaging and appropriate for toddlers. Loved the grown up notes and bible passage at the end. Bought the whole series. These books have been so special to read with my little ones, sparking questions like “why was Martha so busy?” and “what is sin?” which have given opportunities for us as parents to sow seeds in their little hearts. Thank you Steph Williams and the GBC!
My three year old has all of Steph’s books, she loves them all, but this is her favourite. Steph is able to explain Bible stories in an engaging and accessible manner that really appeals to little people.
This book and another in the same series- ' The best thing to do', that we bought for our 19 month old, are much loved by her. She picks them out for us to read to her on a regular basis. The pictures and the words used make this very readable and very much enjoyed by our daughter. She also now gets it out to read herself and says a key word from each page from memory, as it's such a memorable book with easy words to say, without changing the meaning of the true story from the Bible. Highly recommend these books for toddlers.
Love how simple this book is in bringing the story to life! Great for children and I enjoy reading it myself!
My 3 and 1 year olds love these books, and my 3 year old now enjoys acting them out too! Great way of sharing biblical truths with little ones.
These books were great for our Creche ( 0-4s) and the material that came with them was really helpful giving ideas of games, crafts and colouring sheets to support the main teaching point of each of these books.
I would highly recommend these as a resource that could be used in a Sunday School or Toddler Group Setting.
We love it! Please can you write some more?
Do you have toddlers running amok in your home? Are you a friend, grandparent, Sunday School teacher, or nursery worker in your local church? If so, you’re probably well aware that Christian books for children are in high demand. Reading to children is vital, and teaching them the scriptures is even more necessary.
Have you ever read a children’s book about the bible that just so slightly missed the mark? Maybe they told most of the story correctly but passed over a detail that was vital. Perhaps they paraphrased the story well but failed to point to the gospel.
This is a problem. We want our children to know God’s word accurately. We also desire that they come to faith in Christ and not rely on themselves or some inherent goodness which the scripture clearly teaches they don’t have (Romans 3:10).
Steph Williams’ Little Me, Big God series does a wonderful job of blending accuracy with engagement. The bible stories come to life with vivid action verbs, catchy illustrations, and the brevity necessary for the attention span of the little people we chase around all day.
The series contains three wonderful books:
The Man Who Wouldn’t Be Quiet, based on blind Bartemaeus in Mark 10:46-52
The Best Thing To Do, based on Jesus’ interactions with Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42
Never Too Little, based on the scene when the disciples wanted to hinder children in (Mark 10:13-16)
Each book has “Notes For Grown-Ups” and the biblical text from the New International Version, making these books a wonderful tool for family worship, preschool class, or reading time for the little ones in your life.
Grab a set of the Little Me, Big God books and buy another set for someone who has little ones! It’s well worth the investment to see children being saturated in the scriptures!
