God, the Great I AM | Christian Children's Book (Ages 3-8) | Sydney Ann Johnson and Thais Mesquita

God, The Great I AM is a love letter from God’s heart to yours. Through lyrical language and vibrant imagery, Sydney Ann Johnson invites you and your child, grandchild, or other special child in your life to explore who God is, what He does, and how much He cares for you. 

This beautifully illustrated picture book helps children ages 3 to 8 see God’s beauty in creation and discover His presence in their everyday lives. Whether your child is feeling joy, fear, sadness, or wonder, they can turn to the Great I AM with confidence. 

With diverse characters woven throughout, this story encourages every child to embrace their God-given identity and find comfort in His never-ending love. 

The repeated refrain of “I AM . . .” reminds you that God provides all we need and sets a child on a faith journey for life. Scripture is included in the back to help parents and caregivers further explore the Bible with children. 

Sydney Ann Johnson is on a mission to help children grasp just how precious they are in God’s sight, and hopes her writing will encourage people from many backgrounds to embrace their identity in Jesus Christ.
