Author Jill Roman Lord suspects a child would offer Jesus something to eat and drink, then ask how grandma was doing in Heaven. Then the two would go for a walk and Jesus would push the child high on a swing. The child would be full of questions, like "Why is the sky blue?"

"How about my bike or scooter orWhat I Like: This is a sweet look at how a child might view Jesus if he were in human form today. In the end, the author focuses on what a child's relationship should be with him: All their hearts should belong to Jesus Christ. The illustrations by Amy Wummer are whimsical and inviting; my children loved how friendly Jesus (and others) looked.

Special Info: There is an older version of this book featuring illustrations by Renee Graef. The text of both books is the same; only the illustrations differ. I much prefer Wummer's illustrations because I find them happier and more kid-friendly.
