My Thoughts on A Little Christian’s 123s

A Little Christian’s 123s is such a sweet book for children. I love having this one on my shelf for all the children in my life.  It’s so sweet, cute, and Biblically sound that I don’t mind reading it over and over.  I have kids who love to read.  When they find a book they like you’re going to be reading it. . . a lot.  And not just a lot as in once or twice a day.  I’m talking a lot as in three or four times in a row multiple times a day. 

Most kids’ books are cutesie with rhymes but they don’t really teach anything.  Or I think they’re teaching things that I don’t want my kids to learn like bad attitudes.  

This book is different.

  It teaches Biblical truths while also going over numbers.  Not only will your child be starting to count from reading this book but they’re also going to be able to spout Biblical truths that are actually from the Bible!  This is something we love and adore and I’m so happy to share it with you!

Age range.  For our house personally the primary person being read this book is my two-year-old.  She’s in that voracious read-to-me stage and we’re all only too happy to oblige.  We raise readers here!  My four-year-old also loves sitting in and being read to with this book.  She will also “read” it to her sister.  She’s heard it enough that she can state some of the facts and she knows all of her numbers so I always let her shout those out.

My seven-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter also still like to read this book but they read it out loud to their younger siblings.  It’s a wonderful circle of reading from being read to, learning to read, to being able to independently read the book that I just love!

About the Author of A Little Christian’s 123s

Lila Noffsinger grew up in a lazy beach town and now lives in an energetic city with her husband and two daughters. She has always loved sharing her Christian faith through the written word, and she is now excited to share her debut children’s book.

In looking for books for her first daughter, she had difficulty finding options that were not only educational but also spiritually enriching and visually engaging. After having her second daughter, she had some midnight hours to let her mind wander, and that wandering turned into what became A Little Christian’s 123s. She looks forward to publishing more books in the Little Christian series, teaching preschool-level learning concepts with Bible stories. A Little Christian’s Animals is
currently in the works and expected to be available in Fall 2023.

When Lila isn’t writing or researching what camel saddles look like for a future book (true story), she is playing with her girls, cooking, crafting, reading, and adventuring with her family.

More from Lila

My first daughter was a good sleeper. As an infant, she would wake up, eat, and 20 minutes
later we’d be snuggling into our respective beds to return to dreamland. My second daughter
was a different story. When she woke up and ate, it was only the start of our time together.
To stay awake, I thought of traits of my family for each letter of the alphabet. My daughter is
Adorable, Bubbly, Caring, and so on. After nights of this, it morphed into things from the Bible
for each letter, and then later for each number. I enjoyed dwelling on these thoughts through
the midnight hours.

Meanwhile, in the daylight hours, I struggled to find books I wanted to read to my 1.5-year-old.

We read and enjoyed a lot of books!

However, I desired to find a book that was cute, biblically
enriching, and educational. We had plenty of books that met one or two of the categories, but I
had this unexplainable urge to find a book that hit the trifecta.

Through God’s prompting and my own sleep deprivation, my nighttime musings and my daytime
seekings merged into the idea of writing my own book: A cute, Bible-based book about
numbers 1-10.

The trifecta!

The book idea grew, and within the year people were reading published copies of A Little
Christian’s 123s! I am eternally grateful to illustrator Lucy Shin, who took my awful sketches
and pages and pages of historical and geographic reference pictures, and turned them into such
cute and engaging art! Without her, the book may have been educational and biblically
enriching, but I promise you that nobody would have wanted to look at it.

Since publishing the book, it has sold hundreds of copies and has been enjoyed by kids all across the
country. My daughter loves to tell me that Jesus loves her and that He is her friend, which she
learned from the last page. I hope and pray that similar experiences are happening in other
homes as well!

It is an honor to be on tour with Celebrate Lit and to celebrate this tour, I hope that you will
enjoy these coloring pages inspired by the art in A Little Christian’s 123s.

Thanks!
