When Jesus Was a Kid Like Me

When Jesus Was A Kid Like Me playfully illustrates a ten-verse song about Jesus and the things he might have done when he was a kid. Like today's kids, he skins his knee, helps out his mom and dad, and plays with his friends. By helping children to think about Jesus as someone like them, the book also encourages them to take his life and teachings more to heart. The book includes not only this entertaining sing-along story, but also music suitable for piano or guitar, lyrics, and a CD. The author has also choreographed an accompanying dance that is suitable for Sunday school classes and church activity groups. It's a colorful and engaging book that can be read at church, in the classroom, or at home just before being tucked into bed. When Jesus Was A Kid Like Me appeals especially to pre-schoolers and younger elementary school students, but toddlers love the sing-to-me story, and older children can participate in teaching and leading the dance. This book is a great tool for building relationships between age groups and for bringing entire schools and congregations together with a fun addition to children's liturgy of the word, catechesis, or fellowship time.
