A few things you might wonder
How closely do the stories follow the Bible?
These are retellings, with simple language and imagined conversations to help children follow what’s happening. You can read them alongside the Bible whenever you’d like to explore a passage together.
Is my child old enough to understand?
Whisper & Word is made for ages 4–8, reading with a grown-up. Start with a few pages and see what catches your child’s attention. There’s room to enjoy the pictures, ask questions and understand a little more each time.
How do you handle difficult parts of the stories?
Some stories include difficult moments. Reading ahead can help you decide what feels right for your child. Pause whenever they need reassurance, and make room to talk about what they’re feeling.
What if I don’t know how to explain God?
You don’t need to have every answer. Start with the story and listen to what your child notices. “What do you think?” can open a conversation; “Let’s find out together” is a place to begin, too.
Do we need to finish a story in one sitting?
No. A few pages can be enough. Linger over a picture, stop for a question, or leave the rest for another day. Your place is saved in the same browser for next time.
How can we read together?
Sit close, explore the pictures and let your child tell you what they notice. Pause for questions or simply enjoy the story together, at a pace that feels right for you both.
