Each playfully illustrated note includes: • Answers to common faith questions kids ask, like "What happens when I mess up?" and “Is it okay to pray with my eyes open?" • An inspirational Bible verse for kids to tuck away in their hearts • Doable, kid-sized ideas for readers to become even better friends with Jesus Each note reminds kids that Jesus enjoys their company, and he wants a lifelong friendship that deepens with each new conversation. This is the perfect gift for kids just starting a relationship with Jesus...for young families joining a church...or as a meaningful birthday, holiday, or Christmas gift!
