I received an electronic ARC from Tyndale House Publishers through NetGalley.
This is definitely a read together book as younger readers will have questions as they read. Told in rhythmic text that readers of all ages will appreciate. I love the portrayals of the four Gospels as the actual animals. The way the illustrator blends them into the next animal is powerful to see. This young girl goes on quite the journey with her new friends and learns much about herself and God. Th way Lee represents various trials and challenges makes it easy for readers to draw larger pictures and relate to their own lives. Terrific read together for families and Christian education classes.

“You Are Beloved” by Rev. Chris and Jenny Lee is an excellent story to read to younger children. The lyrical poem is lovely to read aloud and the full-color illustrations are stunning. Perfect for homeschool families looking for a read aloud during Morning Basket or Bible time. Classical Conversation families can add this to their curriculum when they learn about Saint Francis of Assisi in the Timeline song. Also a great book for Sunday school teachers to read aloud. This is a must-buy for Christians who work with young children in their faith journey.
Thank you to NetGallery and Tyndale House Publishers for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

If I could rate this book six stars, I absolutely would! Reading You Are Beloved felt like receiving a warm hug—comforting, uplifting, and full of love.

The illustrations are stunning, each page bursting with warmth and beauty, perfectly complementing the message of the book. The rhyming text flows effortlessly, making it a joy to read aloud, almost like a soothing lullaby.

One of my favorite aspects was the powerful imagery of the eagle, lion, ox, and angel. These symbols added such depth and meaning, reinforcing the idea that God is always present in our lives. No matter what we face, He is there to guide, protect, and carry us through it all.

This book is a treasure, both visually and spiritually. It’s a beautiful reminder of God’s unwavering love, perfect for readers of all ages. You Are Beloved is a book I will cherish and return to time and time again.
