It also makes a beautiful graduation gift for children, whether they are graduating from Kindergarten or High School! What an encouragement to a little one’s heart and no better words could be spoken to a child. I know this is my own dream for my daughter and this faith-filled message is strong. This sweet little book wonders at all the things a child could grow up to do, then reminds them to keep Christ at the center of their life and reminds the child that their loved one is cheering them on. The illustrations are imaginative and fun and the quality is sturdy. A definite recommendation from our family! A board book version for 2-4 year olds is also available as well as a coloring book for 4-7 year olds. Wherever You Go, I Want You To Know is a book about a parent's desire for their child to know and love Jesus, no matter what they do when they grow up. I haven't read the original version, so I can't compare this abridged and simplified board book to it, but the board book feels complete, without anything missing in the text or illustrations. The book is simple and has a repetitive refrain, introducing various career opportunities, who Jesus is, and why it is so important to know him. The illustrations by Isobel Lundie are cute and diverse, showing boys and girls with different skin tones exploring future careers and spending time with their parents.

I think this book would make a beautiful gift for a baby shower, graduation, or anything in between. Beautiful Truth Filled book!” (Review written for 'Wherever You Go, I Want You to Know (Keepsake Edition)')

But for Christian parents, their greatest aspiration for their children, their dream of all dreams, is that whatever their kids do and wherever they go, they will love and follow Jesus. This keepsake edition is the perfect encouragement gift for the start of grade school or as a celebratory graduation gift. It will be treasured by your kids as you remind them about the call to treasure Christ above all. My daughter (4) loves this little book! The board book, being a smaller size, is perfect for little hands to carry and as a result, she is often bringing it to me and asking me to read it to her. The words are soft, gentle and rhyming with a powerful message - “Whatever you do, wherever you go, I have a BIG DREAM I want you to know…I pray you’ll love Jesus with all of your heart, whatever you do. That’s the right place to start. He died for your sin. He makes all things new. You can trust in His words, they’re faithful and true.” The statements are simple and understandable for toddlers but present the opportunity for greater discussion with parents or grandparents. Kruger bolds the words "sin", "new", "trust", "faithful", "true". These are deep, powerful words that present a lot of truth about God.

Makes a wonderful gift for toddlers—for birthdays, Christmas, or baptism/christening. Can also be given at a baby shower or gender-reveal party.

Encourage and Celebrate Christ and Your Kids” (Review written for 'Wherever You Go, I Want You to Know (Keepsake Edition)')

I love how the book encourages children to dream, yet also doesn’t shy away from trials we may face in life: suggesting that sometimes we can win or lose, and also may feel happy or sad. As a new parent, I’ve wondered about the most important things I want my children to know. As a Christian, it is clear to me that there is no one more important than Jesus. Kids love to dream about what they might do when they grow up: jobs they might have, places they might go, people they might meet. And parents and caregivers love to encourage and support them. This is a very sweet book and is exactly the kind of book I've been looking for this past month. My children really liked this book. Reading this book will help stregnthen your child's confidence in who they are and who loves them.Wherever You Go, I Want You to Know by Melissa B Kruger & Isobel Lundie is the perfect book to help me share with my children that what I want most for them is to love and follow Jesus.

As well as teaching children about the only thing that really matters in life, this book also reminds parents that telling their kids about Jesus is more important than anything else.

I would recommend this book for families, churches, and Christian schools. Although the author primarily designed this for a parent to read with their child, the book never identifies the first-person adult voice in the text, and any adult can read this to children they care about. This book is suitable for small hands and makes a nice read-aloud, with rhythmic and sweet text. This would be a great gift for baby showers, christenings or baby dedications, and first birthdays. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book as the title isn't blatantly "Jesus" focused. But the storyline is absolutely wonderful. Melissa Kruger has written a fun, poetic, and timeless book. This is a great resource for starting gospel conversations with your children in a natural and casual way. This is the Christian equivalent to Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, The Places You Go” except in this book, the readers are left with the hope of Jesus. In “Wherever You Go, I Want You To Know...”, kids can imagine themselves as what they want to be when they grow up, understand that life presents unique challenges, that not every day is a happy one, and most importantly, are confronted with the gospel. This is all spoken through the voice of a nurturing parent/guardian-child relationship. Buy it. The Good Book Company is really nailing all their kid resources. I would love to see this book become a series of sorts. While this book is a general overview of life (in ways), I think there are other subjects that could use a focus on it like this; a "Here, this is important, and THIS is SUPREMELY important." We need more both/and resources in the Reformed world and I was happy to see that here.There are so many voices speaking into our children’s lives, so many messages and cultural narratives they will hear over the years. There is one thing I want my children to know as an over arching reality in their lives—it’s that King Jesus offers salvation from sin, death, and themselves. I want my kids to love Jesus with all their heart. Makes a wonderful gift for a wide range of children—from 3 year olds to 8 year olds and even beyond—for birthdays, Christmas or graduation.
