Big open shapes leave plenty of room for little hands. Here are six pages partly colored.
What's on every page
Under each picture is the verse itself, with a "Read it" line pointing to the full passage. Coloring time turns into Bible time without anybody having to plan it.
Each book has its own, tucked somewhere in every drawing, so there is always one more thing to find.
In Books Two through Seven, a box on every page asks your child to count something in the drawing: five little fish, twelve baskets, seven angels. Counting practice that feels like a game.
Drawn for a four-year-old's grip, not a grown-up's. Crayons and colored pencils are perfect.

Every book opens with a page for your child's name and closes with a certificate they earn.
Their name, and their favorite story number.
Try the crayons before starting a picture.

About us
When our son was born, his dad started thinking about all the Bible stories he couldn't wait to share with him: Noah's ark, David and Goliath, and the boy whose five loaves and two fish fed a crowd. He wanted books that would put God's Word into little hands, one page at a time, so he started drawing them. Our name comes from that boy's lunch. A few small loaves did big things, and a box of crayons and one verse can too.
Sneak peeks, Count it! puzzles for your kids, and new books first.
Before you buy
Four to eight is the sweet spot. Three-year-olds can color the big shapes with help. Nine and up usually want finer detail than these have.
Yes. Slip a sheet of scrap paper or cardboard behind the page first so nothing soaks through. Crayons and colored pencils need nothing extra.
The Berean Standard Bible, quoted word for word with the reference on every page. Words & Wonders of Jesus also comes in a King James edition with a blue cover.
No. Each book stands on its own. The stories inside each book run in Bible order, so a child starts to feel the shape of the whole story.
Yes. The "Read it" line on each page makes a lesson out of a picture, and the checklist in the back tracks a whole term.
All eight are paperbacks on Amazon, 8.5 by 11 inches. Tap any "Buy on Amazon" button above and it opens that book's page. Ordering for a whole class? Email us.
