Bigger than a dragon. Bigger than the tallest roller coaster. Bigger than the whole wide world. But is God too big to see little me?

When a little boy wonders just how big God really is, his dad has a simple answer: let's find out together. What follows is a journey that captures something every Catholic parent recognizes, the chance to walk a child toward faith one honest question at a time.

From fire breathing dragons to towering dinosaurs, stomach dropping roller coasters to the far reaches of heaven, young readers explore just how great God is. And the story keeps circling back to the question that matters most to a child's heart: is God too big to be right where I am?

Written by David Henrie and his wife, Maria Henrie, Is God Bigger than a Dragon? pairs an original story grounded in scripture with nostalgic and beautiful illustrations by Adam Gustavson. Children come away understanding something they will carry for life: the same God who holds the whole universe is close enough to hold them, too.

“David and Maria beautifully and poetically distill the timeless wisdom of Scripture into a cozy, accessible, family-centered storybook, revealing to children the enormity of God’s love for them."

–Jonathan Roumie
Award-Winning Actor -starring in The Chosen
