CV NEWS FEED // Word On Fire Ministries announced the publication of a new children’s book on June 17 titled, Here I Am, which combats gender ideology messaging and helps young readers instead to understand their bodies in the context of the Incarnation.
“Appealing to childlike wonder and joy, Here I Am draws young readers deeper into the mystery of the Incarnation,” the Ministry states on the book’s webpage.
Written by Abigail Favale, author and professor in the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, the book comes in two formats: one for young girls, and one for young boys.
“Having two separate versions for boys and girls shows, not just tells that being a boy or a girl is fundamentally about the body,” the website explains.
Word On Fire founder Bishop Robert Barron described the book in a social media post as “a timely antidote to confusing messages about gender, identity, and the body.”
The website states, “Through engaging words and charming illustrations, children can begin to see their bodies as gifts that mirror the gift of Christ’s own body.”
