Carol Stream, Ill. (June 9, 2023)—Tyndale House Publishers will release five new kids and middle-grade books in the fall of 2023. In line with Tyndale’s corporate mission, the new products—Pawverbs for Kids, The Size of Everything, ’Twas the Night, SuperChef Family Cookbook, and He is There—are designed to share God’s love with readers while teaching faith-filled lessons.
Pawverbs for Kids
Pawverbs for Kids includes 30 true-to-life short stories, or “pawverbs.” These stories feature kids and animals, including dogs, cats, frogs, birds, horses, a bearded dragon, and a grasshopper. Each story illustrates a biblical principle or lesson found in the Bible book of Proverbs. This book presents biblical teaching in a whimsical way and invites kids to explore deep spiritual truth alongside loveable pets.
Each pawverb includes a Bible verse from Proverbs, a short story with reflection questions, and a child-friendly prayer.
In this book, children will find inspiring and heartwarming animal tales, as well as spiritual truths reminding them of God’s unfailing love, wisdom, and grace.
The Size of Everything
The Size of Everything helps children understand why they were created and how they fit into God’s world. It emphasizes that humans are the most special part of God’s creation because we are made in his image. The book begins in the middle and gives readers the option to turn the pages to the left and explore creations that progressively get smaller and smaller—or they can turn the page to the right and explore creations that get bigger and bigger!
This book touches on the themes of God’s power and creativity, as well as how special humans are to God. It’s also an informational book that includes fun science facts about each creation mentioned.
’Twas the Night
This retelling of the beloved Christmas poem captures the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus.
’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the land,
not a creature suspected that God became man.
So hear now the story that tells of God’s grace:
long ago was the time, Bethlehem was the place.
In the spirit of Clement C. Moore’s well-loved poem, this retelling of Luke 2 was written in 2018 for a church Christmas program. It has been brought to life by Sarah Lowe’s artistry. Originally read aloud to children who were nestled by a Christmas tree, this true story is meant for sharing the joy of Christmas with little ones year after year.
SuperChef Family Cookbook
SuperChef Family Cookbook is a superhero-themed cookbook that includes the life story of rising Food Network star Darnell SuperChef Ferguson, as well as his favorite family recipes.
The biographical introduction, containing full-color comic-style illustrations, provides motivational content that helps children learn how to be superheroes for Christ. It follows Darnell’s journey from childhood to culinary school, the Olympic cooking team, his eventual fall from grace into trouble with the law, and his lifesaving decision to put himself into God’s hands. Darnell’s story goes on to describe his development of a successful chain of SuperChef restaurants and his current journey as a Food Network star and host of his own television program.
This cookbook includes creative and approachable recipes that the entire family will love. Culinary tips and techniques are featured throughout to help children learn to be a super chef like Darnell. The book includes information about knife-cutting techniques, safety in the kitchen, and more. There are even QR codes that will take kids to online videos where Darnell demonstrates his techniques and shares other inspirational helps.
Accompanying children in their culinary journey is Little Super, a character from Ferguson’s Becoming Super comic book.
He Is There
He Is There is a creative, poetic, and interactive book that helps kids learn about the invisible but surprising presence of God. We can’t see God with our physical eyes, but He Is There uses poetry and flashlight fun to help kids look for the hand of God in creation and in their daily lives.
This book affirms the biblical truths of God’s sometimes seemingly hidden presence, his friendship, and his care in a creative and engaging way.
