God, the Great I AM | Christian Children's Book (Ages 3-8)
God, the Great I AM is a beautifully illustrated Christian children’s picture book for ages 3–8 that uses lyrical language and vibrant imagery to help kids understand who God is and how deeply they are known and loved by Him. Through its gentle storytelling, children learn to see God’s beauty in creation and recognize His presence in their everyday experiences.
Written as a heartfelt love letter from God’s heart to each child, Sydney Ann Johnson reassures little ones that whether they feel joy, fear, sadness, or wonder, they can turn to the Great I AM with confidence. Diverse characters throughout the story reflect God’s love for every child and encourage readers to embrace their God‑given identity.
A repeating refrain—“I AM…”—helps children remember that God provides everything they need, setting them on a lifelong journey of faith. Scripture passages included at the end help parents and caregivers explore the Bible together and discuss the deeper meaning.
