God Cares for Me is a reassuring children's book that helps families talk about sickness, safety, and God's care in a way young children can understand.
Through the true-to-life story of Lucas and his sick day, Dr. Scott James helps children process common questions about illness, doctor visits, masks, staying home, and protecting others. As Lucas's parents care for him, they remind him that God is always near, Jesus is with him on hard days, and he can ask God for help when he feels afraid or unwell.
Part of the God Made Me series, God Cares for Me equips parents and caregivers to have calm, thoughtful conversations about getting sick and caring for others. With a special section in the back for adults, this book helps children see both God's loving care for them and practical ways they can show love by helping keep friends and family safe.
