"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
For the grown-up
Lesson 1 is a gentle first conversation about identity. Your child meets Nova and Nex, follows the butterfly journey from egg to wings, and hears that becoming takes time — and that God knew them before they began. Sit beside your child for the drawing pages; the questions they ask there are the real lesson.
