Shopping for a Christian Christmas gift for a little one — a grandchild, godchild, niece or nephew? A good picture book is one of the few gifts that still gets used long after the wrapping paper is gone, and it can quietly plant something that lasts a lifetime.
The Tammy Lamb series by Paul T. Barham is three rhyming Christian picture books for ages 3–7. They aren’t Christmas stories — they’re faith stories for every day of the year, which is exactly what makes them a good Christmas gift: they’ll still be read at bedtime in July.
Three Books, Three Big Truths
- Tammy Lamb Looks for God — for the child who asks “Where is God?” Tammy searches with a yellow telescope, and Mama Lamb shows her that, like the wind and the sunshine, God’s love is real and always near. A lovely Christmas Eve read.
- Tammy Lamb Learns to Pray — Daddy Ram teaches Tammy four simple parts of prayer: praise, thanks, others, asking. A natural gift from a godparent.
- Tammy Lamb Goes to Church — a joyful Sunday morning, from Sunday School to the sermon about the Good Shepherd. Perfect for a child who is new to church.
Christmas Gift Ideas
- For a grandchild: wrap all three as a set, with a note inside each cover.
- For a godchild: start with Tammy Lamb Learns to Pray, and add the others at Easter and birthdays.
- For the stocking: a single book fits neatly alongside the candy cane.
- For Christmas Eve: start a tradition of reading one together before bed.
- For a Sunday School class: a book for each child. Email info@doxatheos.org about bulk orders.
A Note Inside the Cover
A few words in your handwriting turn a book into a keepsake. Try: “You can’t see the wind, but you can feel it. You can’t see God, but He is always with you. Merry Christmas — love, Grandma and Grandpa.” There are more inscription ideas in the Tammy Lamb gift guide.
