Synopsis

Young Jesus is a colorful storybook that invites young readers and soon-to-be readers to share in the life lessons Jesus discovered when he was their age.

This is a wonderful book for loving families to read together (especially grandparents with their grandchildren) because it was created by three generations of the McCormick Family as their vision of how Jesus -- with the help of his parents -- learned to love our world. Grandmother Alvena McCormick, a longtime studio artist at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia, is the art director. Her son Mike is the author. His children Jack, Sophia, and Matthew were the inspiration for his narrative. The color illustrations are Sophia and Matthew's hand-painted expressions of the everyday kid adventures they imagined Young Jesus having. Each childhood experience ends with a New Testament passage that gives the reader a deeper understanding of adult Jesus's teachings as proclaimed in the Bible.

Readers whether young or old will delight in the colorful drawings and simple examples of Young Jesus living God His Father's Word as he climbs trees, bakes treats with Mother Mary, or fishes with Father Joseph.

This is the McCormick Family's first publication of Young Jesus, more editions are in the works.
