A little boy imagines what it would be like if Jesus came to spend the afternoon with him -- the little boy Jesus, of course, about the age that I am and about the size of me.
It is easy to see why this friendly little book has been so popular. It offers the Golden Rule in concepts easily grasped by small children and indirectly suggests some ways to carry them out.
I still can share with Jesus
the nicest of my toys
by lending them or giving them
to poorer girls and boys.
And though He may not visit me
as I have wished He would,
yet even so He'll bless my house
if I am kind and good.

A new look and fresh illustrations for today's children enlivens the journey to the Celestial City.
Twelve-year-old Caroline Kline doesn't believe in miracles. Not after her mom died, and certainly not after her family lost everything in Hurricane Emma. All Caroline wants to do is fit in at school, make some friends, and, above all else, just be normal.
But when Caroline takes a job walking Denver, her neighbor's dog, her plans quickly get turned completely upside down. As it turns out, Denver is no ordinary dog: Not only can he talk--and not like bark-bark but in actual English--but worse than that, Denver tells Caroline that he's been sent from the heavens with a message just for her. It's up to Caroline to find a way to bring belief back to the world.
From acclaimed children's author Iva-Marie Palmer comes a hilarious and heartwarming new tale about miracles, faith of all types, and the good that connects us all.
