Synopsis
A Rhyming Bible Story for Children about Faith, Courage, and God’s Big Plan
Introduce your child to one of the most beloved Bible stories—told in fun, easy-to-read rhyme and brought to life with whimsical illustrations. This Christian children’s book retells the story of David and Goliath in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and full of heart.
Written especially for children ages 5–8, this faith-based picture book follows David when he was still a shepherd boy, learning to trust God before he ever wore a crown. As the rhyme unfolds, young readers discover how God delights in using the small, the brave, and the faithful to do great things.
More than a classic Old Testament Bible story, this book gently connects David’s life to God’s greater story of salvation. Children will begin to see how David points forward to Jesus—the true Shepherd-King—making this a meaningful introduction to how the Old and New Testaments fit together.
Perfect for bedtime reading, homeschooling, Sunday school, and Christian classrooms, this rhyming Bible story helps children grow in faith while enjoying a story they’ll want to hear again and again.

About the Author
A storyteller, traveller, and grandfather, David Ritchie shares page-turners that make you chuckle, reflect, and imagine.David was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to Sydney, NSW, with his family when he was ten.A former teacher, pastor, and carpenter, he has lived and worked in Australia and Kenya - teaching physics in Nairobi, climbing Mt Kenya three times, and collecting stories from every chapter of his life.Now semi-retired in Newcastle, Australia, David writes for readers of all ages. His work ranges from rhyming ballads that weave humour and faith to imaginative fiction for children and adults. He draws inspiration from a lifetime of adventure, travel, and teaching, as well as from his wife, Margy, their four children, and eight grandchildren. They know that Pa always has another story to tell.When he's not writing, David can usually be found with a good book in hand or tending four chickens and his vegetable garden-the perfect place, he says, to dream up his next story.
