About God's Name for Me

“We all have funny nicknames from our families near and far,
And even though they’re silly, they’re a part of who we are.”

Does your little one have a special nickname that’s used just for them?

In God’s Name for Me, author Talia Messina gathers diverse children to share their funny and silly nicknames―names that they were given by loved ones. But they are reminded that there is a name, the very best name, from God who has given it out of his perfect love.

The perfect Christian gift for baby showers or stocking stuffer for baby’s first Christmas, this charming kids’ picture book features:

• Personalization page that allows this book to be dedicated to a special child with the sweet nickname you have given them
• Rhyming story to make it the perfect read-aloud for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
• Lift-the-flap surprises to keep young children engaged and delighted
• Sturdy board book pages that make the book durable for years of use
• Mirror surprise in the back!

Discover God’s super special name for you, given freely for being exactly who he made you to be. This name can’t be earned―it’s part of your identity, so you can’t lose it! It reminds you that being God’s child has nothing to do with personality, likability, outward appearance, energy, size, the love given, or actions taken towards others.

It has everything to do with the love God pours out on all of us, his precious children.
