The preschool to children’s worship transition book is in the final stages of the publishing process. It won’t be long now!
In my early childhood lesson plans each week, I have illustrated children’s books to help teach each lesson and go along with each theme. I have an awesome theme lesson on apples where we learn about different kinds of apples, make applesauce, learn about Johnny Appleseed and even pretend to be Johnny Appleseed by wearing pots on our heads and scattering grass seed in the backyard of the school (Johnny scattered apple seeds, but I think my school owner would prefer we do grass seeds.)
I have books to read each day during the apple theme. I have books to read for almost every other theme planned at school, too.
That made me think about something in my children’s worship lesson plans. I don’t have very many books to read along with those plans. Books are great for preschool children. Often even the most active and rowdy preschoolers will express an interest in hearing stories from books. Why not use story books to go along with the theme of the week?
So with that in mind, next up in my publishing notebook: Noah and the flood.
I have written out the text for an illustrated children’s book on Noah and the flood. The illustrations are in process. Check out this image — and it’s only a rough sketch. Just think what it will look like finished and in color!
