On this episode of The Bible for Kids podcast, hosts Sarah Humprey and Mike Nawrocki talk with returning author and friend, Dandi Mackall about her new book, The Christmas Barnyard.

Join the Christmas Eve barnyard bustle as the animals prepare the stable for the exciting day ahead. “Mice bring berries tied with strings. Hens toss tinsel, silvery things. Sheep hang stockings filled with treats. Mama Llama makes her sweets. Owl hoots, ‘Come now, busy birds!

Hurry, gaggles, flocks, and herds! Gather round to hear God’s Words, how Jesus Christ was born. In a stable long ago, Jesus came that all may know new life and joy in Jesus!’”

• Rhyming story makes this the perfect read-aloud for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
• Endearing illustrations portray barnyard bustle with sweet humor
• Perfect stocking stuffer or gift for baby’s first Christmas or baby showers
• A great choice for budding little animal lovers
• Sturdy board-book pages are durable enough for years of use

Children ages 0–4 will eat up these scrumptious scenes brimming with Christmas cheer and the true meaning of Christmas: Jesus’ birth. This charming tale of farm animals celebrating Christmas makes the perfect companion to the bedtime story Bedtime in the Barnyard.

Hosts Sarah Humphrey and Mike Nawrocki talk to co-authors Bob Smiley and Jesse Florea about their new book Average Boy's Above Average Summer.

Average Boy is here to make you laugh and encourage you in your faith!

The Average Boy series features humorous writing and whimsical illustrations to help readers embrace the idea that life isn’t always about being the smartest, most athletic, or best-looking kid in the neighborhood. Faith, family, and friends are far more valuable than being perceived as cool.

What happens when “Average Boy” Bob Smiley gets to the end of an above-average school year? Why, it’s time for an above-average summer, of course! If things go according to plan―and Average Boy always has lots of plans―then this summer will be his best one ever.

You see, Average Boy isn’t going to sleep in until noon this summer―at least not every day. No, he has big goals for the next few months. This summer is when Average Boy will finally build that tree house he’s been planning with his best friend, Billy. This summer is when he will brush his teeth every morning (as soon as he finds his toothbrush). And this summer he’s setting a goal to invite everyone in town to church.

There will be challenges along the way―challenges like Donny the school bully, or Sarah and Everley, who always seem to have water balloons in hand. But his biggest challenge this summer is the Huge Hairy Hisser, who lurks in the woods behind Average Boy’s house and seems determined to ruin his tree house-building plans.

It will definitely be a summer to remember!
