A faith-filled picture book that helps young children discover what love looks like in everyday life.
Lily the Lamb can hardly wait to visit Apple Arbor. But on her way, she meets Tilly Turtle, who feels sad, slow, and left behind. Lily wants to be kind, but she also wants to hurry ahead.
With the help of Annie Apple, Lily learns that love is more than a warm feeling or a sweet word.
Love makes room.
In Lily the Lamb and Annie Apple, children ages 1–6 are gently introduced to love as one beautiful way the Holy Spirit grows the fruit of the Spirit in us. Through simple rhyming couplets, bright storybook illustrations, and a tender child-friendly lesson, young readers will see how love can be practiced in ways they understand.
Inside, children will discover that love can look like:
- making room for someone
- sharing kindly
- helping a friend
- saying “I’m sorry”
- forgiving
- including someone who feels left out
Rooted in Galatians 5:22–23, this Christian picture book is perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, Sunday school classrooms, preschool ministries, bedtime reading, and faith-filled gifts.
Open the pages and help the little ones you love learn this simple truth:
Jesus loves us, and His Spirit helps love grow in our hearts.
This follows the book-description guide’s core advice: open with a hook, signal the genre clearly, name the promise, make the layout easy to scan, and close with a clear invitation.
