This is a sweet book written for preschoolers. However, as I read it to my daughters I realized it was a great reminder to all ages that we should interact with Jesus as children do. With open arms and questions and feelings. I love this book and give it to all of my children's friends for birthday presents!

A precious and appealing book

IF JESUS CAME TO VISIT ME is a precious story in rhyme that tells how a child imagines a visit from Jesus. The lovely illustrations by Renee Graef expressively portray the life of a young child. I especially liked the one of a little boy lying on the ground watching a spider. The text teaches love, service, and gratitude in an appealing and unforgettable way. Making Jesus comfortable, asking curious questions, and sharing with Him are some of the highlights. Lords writes with awareness of the heart and mind of a child. This is a wonderful book which will teach even the youngest toddler about Jesus. It would make a wonderful gift and would be a great addition to any church nursery.
