Dutch version of
Wonderfully Made and Worthwhile in their homes since 2020. Many parents and children are happy with it.
“If you've never talked about it, it becomes a loaded topic in your head, while for such a young child it isn't at all. The text is nice and clear, nice to look at! Very good that there are clear references to other pages. My 9-year-old really enjoyed watching it!” - a mother of 5 children (aged 0-12 years)
“We are all very positive about it. The girls find it very interesting and educational. It is so attractive and concrete. The text activates the children to ask questions, resulting in many worthful conversations. Beautifully worded and explained from the Bible, that you are unique and valuable and that you should therefore be protected!” - a mother of three girls (6-9 years)
