The whimsical and imaginative short stories in this chapter book will transport children to a different world, giving them a fresh way to engage with truths about Jesus and what it's like to follow him.
They’ll join Lily and her friend the Lemur on a series of adventures in the Lamb King's mysterious playground. They'll tickle a tiger, play Scrabble with a slow loris, and save an entire family of squirrels from the cold! Along the way, children will find themselves exploring key truths about Jesus' kingdom—such as how to be welcoming, what gives people value, and why a self-sacrificing king is the best king of all.
Perfect as an independent read for children aged 7+ or as a read-aloud for ages 5+.
160 pages.
I took a risk with this book - I wasn't sure if it was going to be too old for my kids (4 + 3). It definitely isn't! It's become their most requested book.
Lily, the Lemur and the Lamb King is a collection of stories about a girl called Lily, her friend The Lemur and their interactions with the Lamb King.
Each story is based of a biblical event, story or parable but presents these to kids in a whimsical 'playground'. The book includes a guide to each story with suggestions of how to connect them to the biblical inspiration. I've decided to leave that for now, to let the kids enjoy the story and the discovery of working it out in their own time.
Because I thought it would be a little old, I started this book as a read aloud while Mr 4 and Miss 3 were playing but within minutes they were snuggled up, listening intently, eager to hear more. I wasn't sure if we would get through a story, but we did, and they requested two more that sitting! Hartmann really understands what will captivate children and weaves the stories in a way that speaks to their hearts.
I love the idea of showing kids a picture of Jesus through story and imagination and this book does that so well!
