Book Cover The Beginning of You

Give Your Child Identity-Building Words Before the World Tries to Define Them

What if the very first words you speak over your baby shape the entire story they grow up believing?

In a world quick to label, compare, and confuse, The Beginning of You is a Christian baby book that helps you speak God’s truth first. This baby book about God gives parents simple, powerful language to tell their little ones: God made you, God has plans for you, and God loves you beyond measure.

Before insecurity whispers.
Before comparison creeps in.
Before culture tells them who they should be.

This Christian board book lays a foundation of identity in Christ from the very beginning.

A Love Letter 25 Years in the Making

In 1998, during a simple 15-minute writing exercise as a young mom of three, God dropped a message into my heart—a message that never left.

All these years later, that moment became The Beginning of You—a God made you children’s book for babies and toddlers. A whisper on every page: your worth was settled long before the world had a say.

This isn’t just another faith-based children’s book. It’s a legacy of truth, written like a love letter from God’s heart to your child’s.

The Three Core Truths Every Child Must Know

From the earliest days, this Christian identity book for kids helps you speak three life-shaping truths again and again:

1. God made you.

Not randomly. Not accidentally.
But with divine intention, creativity, and care woven into every part of you.

2. He has plans for you.

Before you took your first breath, purpose was written over your life.
Your child will hear that they are here on purpose, for a purpose.

3. He loves you immeasurably.

A love unconditional, unchanging, and deeper than they could ever outgrow.
Perfect, steady, eternal.

These truths help your little one grow up knowing their identity in Christ—not just who the world says they are.

A Daily Declaration—Not Just a Bedtime Story

The Beginning of You isn’t just a sweet Christian bedtime book for babies. It’s:

  • A rhythm of truth spoken over your child’s heart
  • A gentle but powerful way to teach identity, purpose, and God’s love
  • A shield against the lies and labels that will someday come

Read it at bedtime, during snuggles, after bath time, or before daycare. Over time, this Christian baby book becomes the lens your child learns to see themselves through—and the foundation they build their life upon.

Perfect For
