Illustrated by Craig Stapley
Summary: All around the world, Latter-day Saint children go to church, sing songs, pray, read scriptures, participate in family home evening, and get baptized. We may meet in different types of buildings or speak different languages, but we have a lot in common. Why? Because no matter where we live, we all love and believe in Jesus, and He loves each one of us just the same. Are you like Pablo, Dimitri, Bayani, Junpei, and Shamara? Do you believe in Jesus too? (Summary/image from deseretbook.com - Book given free for an honest review)
My Review: When I Believe in Jesus Too arrived in my mailbox, my girls were
delighted to open a book they felt was written just for them – the “Mormon”
kids. You see, we live in central
Washington and my girls are the only members of our church in each of their
grades. Sometimes, I think this wears on
them and they feel a little alone in their faith. It was touching to watch them pour over the beautiful
pages, and discover what life is like for the youth of the church in various
parts of the world. They especially loved
the easy-to-read map in the front that allowed them to find where each child
lived.
I Believe in Jesus Too shows young Latter-Day Saints that despite the rich
diversity of this world-wide religion, they are brought together through their
shared beliefs and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
My Rating: 4.25 Stars
Sum it up: I Believe in Jesus Too pairs visually striking artwork with a powerful message of unity, diversity, and love and is a wonderful read aloud book for young Latter-day Saint children.

Kaisa, age 8, says: I love that book because it was written by an
LDS man for LDS kids. I also liked it
because of the pictures – how they were
painted but looked real. I liked how
they talked about different people and how they go to church too. I’d give it the highest points of stars you
can give it!
Sophie, age 6, says: I like it because it talks about how people
pray and read scriptures and go to church on Sunday and get baptized. My favorite part is the pictures. It’s really a beautiful book!
( Here's an examples of the gorgeous illustrations they are raving about... )
