Synopsis
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young girl learns how Jesus’s love can shine at school through her compassion, kindness, and inclusion.
In this whimsical tale, a young girl imagines what it would be like if Jesus visited her school as a boy. She would show Jesus around her classroom, introduce her friends and teachers, listen to story time, and eat lunch together! But Jesus wouldn't stop at learning and sitting in class. He'd invite the lonely to join in on games and find a way to love and get along with everyone. Soon the young girl realizes that even though Jesus doesn’t attend her school, he can live through her:
I can be his hands and feet
To spread his love to all
I can share and help and give
So no one feels too small!
Through rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, children will be inspired to make a difference in their schools through their actions. Because as they treat each other right and classes become families, Jesus truly will be in their school.

If Jesus came to school with me
and he was just my size,
our class would have a special treat—
the best day of our lives!
At one time, Jesus was my age!
Let’s imagine what he’d see,
how he’d act, and what he’d say
if he came to school with me!
