Book Review: Good Good Father for Little Ones




Inspired by the #1 hit song “Good Good Father,” as heard on Chris Tomlin’s new album.
“Oh, I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think you’re like . . . but I’ve heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night . . . and you tell me that you’re pleased . . . and that I’m never alone. You’re a good good Father.”
Experience the truth of God’s love for His children in refreshing, heartwarming ways through the children’s board book Good Good Father for Little Ones, illustrated with stunning art by Lorna Hussey and penned by Grammy Award-winning Christian music artist Chris Tomlin and Pat Barrett.
With sweet, rhyming text, Good Good Father for Little Ones explores many of the attributes that make God such a good, good Father: like a warrior, He protects you; like a teacher, He helps you learn and grow; like a doctor, He makes you feel better; like a farmer, He provides the food you need; like a musician, He brings you joy. Most of all, a good, good Father loves you!
Based on the children’s picture book Good Good Father, this precious rhyming adaptation will leave little ones with a greater assurance that God truly is a good, good Father and they are loved by Him.

Book Review


As a grandmother of 5, I especially wanted the little ones to understand the character of God with a simple story line, word pictures they would remember, and a connection with warm illustrations. I found this charming book to do just that and more! The good news of God's love for His children has a fresh approach in comparing a Father as a lion (like a kind and fair king) who is sometimes like a warrior protecting you; like a teacher (friend), who helps you learn and grow; like a doctor (healer), who makes you feel better; like a farmer, who provides the food you need; like a musician, who brings you joy. I especially like this part being a piano teacher and playing the keyboard on worship teams for over 30 years. I love to worship and Chris Tomlin is the best! Most of all, a good, good Father (like a daddy) loves you! This story answers in a wonderful way many questions little ones have regarding what a good, good father is like. The board book has great cover art and within the 24 durable pages is a precious story that will warm hearts of all ages!

5/5 stars! Love the book! Highly recommend it!
