Let’s Start the Day with “My Breakfast with Jesus”

August 4, 2020 By Claire Annette Noland 2 Comments

 

My Breakfast with Jesus: Worshipping God Around the World

by Tina Cho (author) and Guy Wolek (illustrator)
Harvest House 2020
picture book ages 4-8
Setting – The World!
Themes – Prayer, breakfast, diversity

Are you dreaming of traveling somewhere? I am and fortunately can still go places with books. Today we’re taking a field trip around the world to join children for breakfast!

Summary: For more than 2,000 years, people have started their day with a delicious meal in their bellies and the love of Jesus in their hearts. From bacon and eggs in the heart of North America to fresh baked bread in Antarctica, believers from each continent gather in the morning to share good food and conversation, giving thanks to God for all the wonderful things He’s done. (Amazon)

This sweet picture book is based on the story in John 21 where Jesus comes and feeds his disciples. From this long ago meal, readers travel around the world and see how children begin their day. The bright and cheerful illustrations show children of all ethnicities beginning the day with traditional meals and a lovely breakfast blessing refrain.

 

Why you should add My Breakfast with Jesus to your bookshelves:

  1. This is a great selection to introduce children to the culture and customs children who live in places with different climates and geography in a fun and unusual way.
  2. The biblical concepts of sharing a meal and prayer are uplifting and relatable to young children.
  3. This book offers many opportunities for discussion about the global church.The moist poignant spread shows children and their families in an underground church in China. Such a good reminder to be thankful for the freedoms we have.
  4. Children will want to try the foods that other children enjoy and will be surprised and charmed by the different meals.
  5. Most importantly, My Breakfast with Jesus is a beautiful picture book that celebrates diversity but also shows that we are all one.

Highly recommended!

 

We have many Dutch friends who serve Hagelslag. It is easy enough for children to make on their own.

I have started the @21daydiscoveryourwhy journal c I have started the @21daydiscoveryourwhy journal challenge through the generosity of Oahn Jordan of @tinytriumphco 
Today's journal prompt was Where were you a year ago?
Thanks to my phone camera, I could easily take a look. And there were the faces of Christina, Thomas and Evelyn on January 18, 2020 as I was leaving Nicaragua. Little did I know that there would be a pandemic and the flights were stopped. Somehow, things fell into place and I was able to return with Roxanne on January 18, 2021. We recreated the original photo (on the right). I'm so excited about what’s ahead! You can still sign up - look at the bio in @tinytriumphco or @21daydiscoveryourwhy
It has been amazing watching to process of MIMIC M It has been amazing watching to process of MIMIC MAKERS go from idea to picture book! I can’t wait to hold it in my hands. Posted @withregram • @knordynordy COVER REVEAL

After raising two boys and teaching for over twenty years in a public school, I’ve witnessed the natural wonder that children have about the living world. Their voracious curiosity to understand the mysteries of our planet  is in everything they do!  Does it float? Does it fly? Does bend or break?  Children are curiosity in motion! I’ve come to believe this wonder about the world is the first step on the pathway to living sustainably on our beautiful planet. How ? By being curious and learning from the living world. 

Well...innate curiosity is something I wanted to explore. So...
I asked each inventor in my book what sparked their curiosity about nature? Well...after years of research, lots of interviews, and loads of classroom projects, MIMIC MAKERS was born. This picture book is a look at ten inventors from around the world, who began asking questions and investigating nature to create amazing biomimicry inventions that help us all. I hope it inspires a new generation of mimic makers. 

My thanks to my incredible editor, Alyssa Mito Pusey and the entire staff at Charlesbridge. Huge thanks to Paul Boston for your superb illustrations. Many thanks to Gretchen Hooker and Sherry Ritter of the Biomimicry Institute.
