Christian Books for Kids
As a Christian parent, I want my children exposed to literature that supports who we believe Jesus to be. Finding Christian books for kids has been important for us in helping us make that happen.
I went ahead and compiled a list of some of our favorite kids Christian books, as well as added a few that are on our list of Christian kids’ books to check out.
There are Christian board books for kids, Christian picture books for kids, Christian chapter books for kids, Christian book series for kids, and Christian Bible studies for kids, in that order. So scroll through to find what you’re looking for!
Christian kids’ books make great birthday gifts, as well as baptism and easter gifts for kids.

The Gospel Board Book for Kids
A great way to introduce a child to Jesus is with this Christian board book called The Gospel. It is a simple, relatable, picture introduction to the gospel with simple explanations of how God created everything, and why we have salvation.
God Gave Us You
We were given God Gave Us You as a baby shower gift. It quickly became one of my favorite board books to read to our baby each day. I love the illustrations, and I love the story that it tells of how God chose our baby just for us. It’s a beautiful reminder that every baby is chosen by God.

Christian Picture Books for Kids
The Beginner’s Bible
If you’re unsure of where to start with Christian picture books, The Beginner’s Bible is a great place to begin. The pictures are well done, and they cover over 90 of the major stories in the Bible. This is one of the books we read on a rotation with our kids each night.
This I Know: Seeing God in the World He Made
When you want your child to understand that God made creation, you should consider
You Are Special
Sometimes we all need a reminder that God created us exactly how He wanted us to be. In You Are Special, we are reminded that despite all the places we think we aren’t enough, God wants us to be reminded that we are perfect exactly as He made us.
When God Made You
Another great Christian book for kids that is a reminder of how unique and amazing God created each of us to be is When God Made You. It’s a great reminder that God is intentional when He makes each of us and He makes no mistakes. We are loved and created by an incredible God.
Wherever You Go, I Want You to Know is a book that reminds kids that no matter what happens in their lives, and wherever their journey takes them, God is always there and part of their story. This makes a great birthday gift for kids, or even a kid’s Christmas gift or baptism gift.
The Garden, The Curtain, and the Cross
The Garden, The Curtain, and the Cross is a book we read together every Easter. I love that it tells about the crucifixion of Jesus and how his death led to our salvation. This is a beautifully illustrated book for Christian kids.
The Oak Inside the Acorn
This picture book by Max Lucado is all about how God has created each of us to be unique, but we are still a part of Him because He created us. The Oak Inside the Acorn talks about how, as we grow, we learn, and parts of us we didn’t see a purpose for, God uses that for His good in His time.

Teaching children about Jesus is important, but at times, it can make it hard to be relatable to their little minds.
Little Pilgrim’s Progress
Another great Christian chapter book for kids, “Little Pilgrim’s Progress,” is a spinoff from Pilgrim’s Progress. This story walks children through the trials and triumphs of what it means to walk the Christian life.
