Ava, Leo, and the Very Special You

Five Read-Aloud Stories About Being Made in God's Image

This book helps little ones begin to understand one big, beautiful truth: every person is made by God, loved by God, and different from every toy, robot, and screen. In these five stories, Ava and Leo discover that people have feelings and can love, that gentle hands and kind words matter, that differences are part of God's good creation, and that we can show God's love to everyone around us.
