About the Author
Tara loves Jesus and the little children of the world. From villages in Nigeria and Zambia to orphanages in Romania and India, she has held and prayed over babies, told Bible stories through translators, and danced to songs with silly motions all with the hope of pointing tiny souls to the One who created them. Tara is the founder of Jesus Loves, a ministry of encouragement dedicated to recapturing the wonder, exploring the depth, and spreading the good news of the world's greatest Love. As a mother of five, she can often be found scrubbing out grass stains, judging coloring contests, doubling recipes, and driving all over town. In the quiet hours, she enjoys boating, date nights with her hubby, and getting sand between her toes. Tara lives with her family by the sea in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Reviews
"Tara Hackney has done a wonderful job reminding us just how precious all of God's children are and how we should show love to them. It reminds me of Matthew 18:10, which says, 'See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.'"
--Gary Batton, chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma"Three new verses encourage readers to reflect on the inclusivity of God's love, delivering a Christian message that speaks back to the divisive politics that dominate today's society. The volume is illustrated with real-life photographs of children of all shapes and sizes, all in different environments and from various backgrounds, but all beaming with the joy of being alive. The bold font and frequent repetition help keep the text accessible to even very young readers while offering lots of scope for discussion around the differences depicted in the artwork.
Whether read/sung at home or in church, Jesus Loves the Little Children is a fantastic introduction to the concept of diversity for preschoolers."
--The Children's Book Review"Tara Hackney has put together simple yet powerful words with beautiful photos that together capture the wonder of all the children God loves and calls us to love with him."
