This sweet little picture book tells the story of Lamba, a curious baby lamb born on a cold night in Bethlehem. As he grows, Lamba’s natural wanderlust leads him on unexpected adventures—from meeting baby Jesus in the manger, to witnessing the events in Jerusalem during Palm Sunday, all the way to discovering the empty tomb on Easter morning. Through Lamba’s eyes, kids are gently guided through key moments in the life of Jesus.

As a mom who reads a ton of bedtime stories (and has heard “read it again!” more times than I can count), this one really warmed my heart. The writing is simple and rhythmic, which makes it easy for my little one to follow along. And the fact that it’s all told from a lamb’s point of view is genius. My kid was instantly hooked. It gave him someone small and innocent to connect with, and the way Lamba gets a little lost but always finds his way back—it just tugged at my heart. It reminds me of how we all sometimes stray and still get called home with love.

But what really got me was how the story weaves in the big parts of Jesus’s life without making it too heavy or confusing for young minds. It felt spiritual without being preachy, gentle without being watered down. The illustrations are bright, expressive, and just the right mix of realism and whimsy. Lamba’s eyes are so bright and expressive.

Lamba’s Journey With Jesus is the kind of children’s book I’d keep on our shelf year-round, not just for Christmas or Easter. It’s perfect for faith-based families who want to introduce Jesus’s story in a way that’s approachable and heart-centered. I’d recommend it to moms of toddlers and early elementary kids, Sunday school teachers, and honestly, anyone who wants to see the gospel through fresh eyes.
