If there is a game that children like to play even more than hide-and-seek - it has to be 'Peek-a-boo'. A little boy or girl will sit for ages as your face disappears behind your hands only to pop out again moments later. Seeing is often described as believing. Simeon and Anna saw Jesus and they believed in him. They saw the child and they saw that he was their saviour. And as your child begins to discover the wonderful world of books and pages may you both see the beauty of King Jesus for yourselves.
