The Best Faith-Based Board Books for Babies and Toddlers (Perfect for Christmas Gifts!)

I would argue that you can never go wrong with gifting books!

For any age and stage of life, there’s always the perfect story to give, and when it comes to that sweet baby in your life, there are so many wonderful options.

As a Christian author and mom, I’ve read (and gifted!) my fair share of baby books. The ones that stay on our shelves the longest are always the ones that share the love and truth of Jesus in simple, beautiful ways.

If you’re looking for a meaningful Christmas gift for babies or toddlers, here are a few of my favourite faith-based board books, stories that little ones (and parents!) will treasure for years.

1. God Made Us (affiliate - at no extra cost to you, using this link will earn me money too)

A sweet children’s board book that teaches a simple, faith-based message: God made every creature different, and each one is special in its own way, just as He made every child unique. Through charming illustrations and gentle, rhyming text, little readers also learn about opposites, like big and small, fast and slow, while celebrating the wonderful diversity of God’s creation. Great for the youngest baby, and still reading to my daughter and loving it at age 3.

2. Don't Forget to Remember (affiliate - at no extra cost to you, using this link will earn me money too)

This book gently encourages readers (both young and old) to hold on to important, comforting truths, especially on days when it’s easy to forget them. The idea is that creation (sunrise, snowflakes, waves, flowers, etc.) gives us reminders of God’s love, faithfulness, and care. At the end, the core message is: even on days when we forget what’s true, God won’t forget us.

3. Love Trio Board Books

This sweet set of board books (written by yours truly!) reminds little hearts that love isn’t just something we feel; it’s someone we can know (Jesus). With cozy illustrations and gospel centred truths, it’s a meaningful gift for baby showers, birthdays, or Christmas morning.

Why Faith-Based Books Make the Perfect Christmas Gift

Books are more than a cute add on, they’re seeds of faith planted early in life. Faith based stories help children grow up knowing they are loved, chosen, and created with purpose.

Reading these stories together creates sweet family traditions, cuddles by the tree, quiet moments before bed, and memories that last long after the wrapping paper is gone.

So this Christmas, give a gift that points to Jesus. A Christian board book is more than a story, it’s a keepsake that helps little hearts know the One who loves them most!
