Hi, friend! You know my name, but I want you to really know me. Like I know you.
So let me tell you a few things about myself.
That’s what you’ll find in this book—stuff I’d like you to know about me. Because that’s what friends do, right?
They meet and then they get to know each other better. They talk, laugh together, and pretty soon they’re not just friends—they’re best friends.
That’s what I want for us. No matter how long we’ve been friends, we can always become better friends. I’d like that, and I think you’ll like it, too.
So let’s get started!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024Got this book as an Easter basket gift for my 5 year old who just got saved and baptized! I didn't realize how advanced the reading was in the book, I assumed she would be able to read it eventually but this book is probably more for a 8 years and up. We'll keep it because I liked the content of it but totally not for a 5 year old haha

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great lil book about Jesus for kids
This is a great little book for kids to learn more about Jesus in a simple truth form. The paper quality, printing and illustrations are really good. Gave a 4star rating because the size of text strains the eye a bit.
This is a book that can be read independently for a child aged 8-10. Younger kids can have someone read it out to them. Great for gifting.

2.0 out of 5 stars There is a formatting error with the book
While the content is really lovely, there are so many formatting and display errors. The words don't display properly, some words have no spaces, overlap over each other etc. The 'sample' before I bought it was not a sample of the faulty material, only the index so felt a bit cheated after I spent $8 on a faulty book. Please fix and update. Thank you!
