Why to read
- Supports Early Reading Skills: The 'I Can Read!' series is specifically designed to help young readers develop their skills. With simple sentences and familiar vocabulary, 'Jesus Loves the Little Children' will likely be accessible and encouraging for children just starting to read on their own.
- Teaches Inclusivity and Love: If the book reflects the message of the traditional song, it will communicate the idea that Jesus's love is universal, transcending race, color, and nationality. This can help children learn the values of inclusivity and kindness from an early age.
- Religious Education: For Christian families, reading this book can serve as a gentle introduction to religious education, teaching children about Jesus's teachings in a way that is easy for them to understand and remember.
- Engagement Through Music: If the book is part of a series that includes songs, children might enjoy singing along. This can make the reading experience more interactive and memorable, reinforcing both the religious message and the reading skills being practiced.
