Illustrated Storybook Follows an Ordinary Boy at the Center of an Extraordinary Gospel Miracle

The feeding of the 5,000, an extraordinary miracle recorded in all 4 gospels, started with a small boy who offered his simple lunch and watched Jesus turn it into something spectacular. Through one child’s faith, thousands experienced the abundant, transformative power and love of Christ. This children’s book creatively retells the miracle of the loaves and fish for children aged 4–7.

Readers follow a fictional character named Jude—who portrays the real-life child from Scripture—as his day goes from predictable to extraordinary. On his way to the sea to watch the fishermen, he encounters Jesus and witnesses a miracle that will change his life forever. Written and illustrated by artist Jessica Dennis Bush, this imaginative retelling helps children step inside the Bible story to learn about Jesus’s teachings, what it means to follow Christ, and how God can use our “not enough” for his wise purposes.
