David and Goliath

A bedtime Bible story your child will ask for again.

David is the youngest of eight brothers, the one who stays behind with the sheep. “You are too little,” his brothers say. Then an old prophet comes to Bethlehem with a horn of oil, and God says something nobody expects: people look at the outside, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Later, in a wide valley, a shadow longer than a tent has been shouting for forty days, and the smallest boy there is the one who walks toward it.

Along the way, Mika, the smallest lamb, asks your child a question, so the story becomes a conversation instead of a monologue.

Gentle by design. The giant is never shown as a face, only as a distant shadow, and there is nothing frightening in the pictures.
