Baptism Gift Ideas: Bible Story Books a Child Will Grow Up With

A baptism gift should still matter years from now. A hardcover Bible story book does: it goes on the shelf, it gets read at bedtime, and one day the child reads it to a little brother or sister. Little Light Stories books are gently told, Bible-faithful picture books for ages 4–8, with big easy-to-read text on every left page and a full-page illustration on every right page. Every hardcover ships free.

Write the child's name, the baptism date and a short blessing on the first page of the book. Years later, that handwritten line will mean more than any card.
