Introducing ‘The King and the Dragon’

A Picture Book for Kids Ages 3–5 That Celebrates God’s Ultimate Victory Over Sin and Death

When the knight slays the dragon in any story, readers and listeners all cheer in celebration. We rejoice because it echoes the Bible—the victory of good over evil is a prominent theme because the Lord came to have final victory over the devil.

In this imaginative story, James Shrimpton teaches children the story of redemption in the Bible through the lens of dragon slaying. With a memorable rhyming style, engaging artwork, and theologically grounded storytelling, this book is perfect for teaching children the story of Christ’s defeat of sin, death, and evil.

  • Ideal for Children Ages 3–5: Teaches children about the arc of victory and defeat in a memorable rhyming style
  • Short Enough for Bedtime: Approachable length makes it ideal for younger children
  • Colorful and Whimsical: Artwork by Helena Pérez Garcia will help capture the imagination of its readers
