Reading with my three-year-old

I read this book with my three-year-old son, and it quickly became a meaningful part of our bed-time reading routine. He was drawn in by the illustrations and connected with the core messages—especially the comforting truth that God is always with us and that we are never alone. One feature that stood out to both of us was the invitation to insert your child’s name into the text. It’s a simple idea, but it made a big impact. My son’s eyes lit up when he heard his name in the story, and it helped him feel like the book was speaking directly to him.
