My four year old loved this adorable book. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the characters have an interactive dialog with the reader (or listener). My little guy enjoyed conversing with the characters and pointing out the different farm animals. I would recommend this book for toddlers and preschoolers especially. The book reinforces the concept of God as the Good Shepherd with a story about 5 year old Jackson's grandfather taking care of his sheep during a storm. Psalm 23 is included at the end of the story.
I requested this book through NetGalley in order to read it and offer an honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.

This story draws your child into the what is happening on the farm with Jackson and his grandparents. Your child will learn a little about the chores on the farm, and how it relates to Psalm 23.
I loved the simplicity of the story, yet it maintained the integrity of the Psalm and put it into words that a young child can understand. The illustrations are beautiful. Even though I have heard Psalm 23 several times because it is my grandfather's favorite psalm, the illustrations and the storyline help bring it alive. I love that Jackson invites your child to come along on the journey with him, and your child is addressed throughout the book as his friend. It makes the story more personal.
I received an ARC curtesy of Net Galley and David C Cook in exchange for my honest opinion.
