Imagining a visit from Jesus

A young boy pictures spending an afternoon with Jesus as a child his own age. Through that imagined visit, the book frames the Golden Rule in terms familiar to young children: sharing toys and showing kindness to others. Its focus is on everyday acts of generosity and the idea that these actions can express Christian values at home and in a child’s community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children encountering Christian themes through a simple imagined scenario
  • Families and educators seeking a story that introduces kindness and sharing

Book overview

First published in the US in 1951 by Lothrop & Lee, New York.

A little boy imagines what it would be like if Jesus came to spend the afternoon with him -- the little boy Jesus, of course, "about the age that I am and about the size of me."

It is easy to see why this friendly little book has been so popular. It offers the Golden Rule in concepts easily grasped by small children and indirectly suggests some ways to carry them out.

"I still can share with Jesus

the nicest of my toys

by lending them or giving them

to poorer girls and boys.

 

And though He may not visit me

as I have wished He would,

yet even so He'll bless my house

if I am kind and good."
