All creation sings of the glory of God. Have you ever looked at a sunset and wonder at it's glory. Or climbed a mountain and see the vastness of creation. Since we are created by God for his glory we are made to worship. This book is for both you and your child. It is a resource that will help you both draw closer to God thru the Psalms and Proverbs.

The illustrations and wording are kid friendly. Scripture reinforces the character of God and how much He loves you. I have already pre-ordered these books for my granddaughters. They will speak truth to you and to your children. Highly recommend.

A Special Thank you to Zonderkidz and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This illustrated book is a devotional of sorts for tweens and young children. I liked this book, and can’t wait to look into the others in the series. This is the perfect Psalms and Proverbs introduction for young children and tweens. The art is inclusive to all ethnic groups and really colorful. I’d highly recommend this for daily scripture reading with young kids.


I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

Tiny Truths Wonder & Wisdom: Everyday Reminders From Psalms And Proverbs is a beautiful, darling, phenomenal, inspiring, needed, heartwarming, creative, important, uplifting, and joyous book! This story is filled with so much wisdom, lots of leading by example encouragement, and whole hearted joy. The Psalms and Proverbs are something I personally struggled to understand for many years due to their descriptive launage, metaphors, and literary style. This book will help littles understand the true meaning of Psalms and Proverbs so they never struggle with that confusion. The heart, joy, and purpose of these stories are beautifully apparent in this children's story book. These lessons teach many morals and encourage children to go to God with their questions. It is okay to ask questions and it is okay to feel all kinds of emotions. Nothing is too much for God. This book encourages honesty, thankfulness, joy, and carefully making good choices. Undoubtedly, this book is one of most loving and moral books I have ever read. It truly meets its goal of teaching children how to have a close relationship with God. It is a book that can be read as a family or the child can read it alone which is wonderful. I truly adore this book and its messaging.

I also have to mention the precious illustrations! They made my heart so happy! They are incredibly diverse representing various ethnicities, showcasing all skin tones & hair textures, including a bit of disability representation, and showcasing a wide variety of ages. Children will be able to see someone who looks like them while reading these stories. That means the world!

About the Book:

A highly engaging introduction to Old Testament Psalms and Proverbs for young children, each bite-sized reading draws on the timeless wisdom of these books to remind young ones who God made them to be and how to live their lives with him on a day-to-day basis. The lessons found in Psalms and Proverbs are enduring and key for understanding what it looks like to live a life of love and gratitude, make good choices, and ask helpful questions.

My Review:

For a very long time people sort of cast aside the Old Testament as not erally applying to the here and now, and that is simply not true. There is much wisdom that can be gained by a visit to the front of the Bible especially Psalms and Proverbs. Teaching your children about these very helpful books of the Bible is always a step in the right direction.

Tiny Truths Wonder and Wisdom take a few of the Psalms and a few of the Proverbs and puts it into wording that a young child can read or listen to and understand. This is a sweet book that reminds children who loves them and cares for them. A great teaching tool!

I love when children’s books have presentation pages! Tiny Truths Wonder & Wisdom opens to a presentation page where you fill in who it’s to, who’s it’s from (“With Love From”) and a place to document the gift date.

I’ve always loved the life-building Psalms and Proverbs from the Old Testament. This book provides a wonderful opportunity for young readers to not only learn Bible wisdoms, but also to apply them to their daily lives.

The hardback edition is marketed for 4-8-year-old readers. It has sturdy pages and colorful illustrations and designs on every page. I love the diversity it shows, including drawings of children from varying cultures and ethnicities.

Overall, this is a wonderful supplement to children’s Bible storybooks. Each reading helps children discover the wonderful life-lessons and Godly wisdom the Bible teaches.

Tiny Truths Wonder and Wisdom is a beautifully written book for children. The illustrations are eye-catching and fun, they remind me of the cute Funko Pop toys. Most important, they show how God loves all people. The truths written out in a kid-friendly way are timeless. Each story is paired with a verse from Psalm or Proverbs. The book includes a table of contents, an introduction to Psalm and Proverbs, and more to explore verses. Written in easy to read text, the wisdom and wonders will delight little ones. This would be a perfect gift book for many occasions or a great book to use in a class for children. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I was able to read Tiny Truths Wonder and Wisdom by Joanna Rivard & Tim Penner for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The book shows us to understand what it is to live a life of love, gratitude and that we need to remember to make good choices.  We will learn that God is the one who made everything and everyone, who we are, that he loves us unconditionally and we are to love God and everyone else.

I absolutely adored this book, and can’t wait to dig into the others in the series. This is the perfect Psalms and Proverbs introduction to young children. The art is inclusive and really vibrant. I’d highly recommend this for daily scripture reading with young kids.

Kid friendly intro to psalms and proverbs, with little stories about topics, illustations and a highlighted verse. I've seen lots of illustrated bibles, but talking about psalms/proverbs feels less common.

I liked this but I like their Bible better.
