Crows and the Missing Piece by J.D. Camorlinga
In Crows and the Missing Piece, James and Ruth are putting a puzzle together when a couple crows come by and tear a piece of their Bible.
When Ruth tells them to stop tearing up their special Bible, the crows start asking questions about the reliability of the Bible. What about all the mistakes? Has the Bible changed over time?
Will James and Ruth have the right answers to defend the truth of why they believe the Bible?

LJR’s Thoughts on Crows and the Missing Piece
There’s something immediately special about a picture book that seeks to bring apologetics to young children in a way they can understand. While this is not the ultimate book for teaching the reliability of the Bible, this is a great start with kids as young as five to understand and begin their faith building.
Overall Rating: 4.7 out of 5
