With 40 Psalms, this book is a great little devotional and bedtime book. I think this book should be in every TCKs home library. The author does not shy away from Psalms that speak of fear or sadness, confusion or uncertainty, but also highlights Psalms of thankfulness, reassurance of God’s presence and love and the praise to God for the beauty of nature.Įach “poem” of David is paraphrased in one or two sentences, written in bold letters, in simplified language so even a young child can understand, and an early reader can read the words on his/her own. This little book, originally published in French as Les Psaumes pour les tout-petits, is now available by Eerdmans for Young Readers. The children and the scenes in the illustrations depict diverse cultures and landscapes, from deserts to stormy seas. As I read through it, I wish my children were young again and I could read this book with them at bedtime.Įach Psalm is beautifully illustrated, the art work so original and vivid, depicting the world and emotions through a child’s eyes. This amazing book, Psalms for Young Children makes the Psalms accessible to young children (for ages 4 to 8). Psalms for Young Children by Hélene Delval illustrated by ArnoĪs we explore poetry with children, what better place to begin then to turn to the Psalms, the poetry of the Bible.
