Description


A heartwarming faith-based bedtime story that helps kids rest in God's love.

Emma is afraid of the dark. Her active imagination and the unknowns of the night feel overwhelming. But one simple prayer sets her on a journey toward peace. In this beautifully illustrated Christian picture book for kids, Emma is gently carried into a dream by a sweet, feathered friend named Love Dove. Together, they soar above the clouds to a peaceful nest, where Emma hears comforting truths inspired by God's Word. Through this tender encounter, she learns that she is never truly alone—and that she can choose to focus on what is good and true, instead of imagining scary things (Philippians 4:8). Filled with Bible-based comfort and encouragement, Love Dove was written to nurture growing faith and lovingly reminds children that God is always near—even in their darkest moments.
