Toby and the Five Little Loaves

About this book

A little lunch. A thankful prayer. A great big God. Toby is just a little basket holding one boy's lunch - five small barley loaves and two small fish. When thousands of hungry people gather on a hillside by the Sea of Galilee, Toby is sure he's much too small to matter. But when the boy gives his lunch to Jesus, and Jesus lifts up His eyes and gives thanks, Toby watches something amazing happen... Toby and the Five Little Loaves is a gentle, rhyming retelling of the feeding of the 5,000 (John 6:1-14). It helps children see that whatever we place in Jesus' hands, He can bless and multiply, and that Jesus Himself is the Bread of Life.
