This is a cute book about a brother and sister who learn about sin and how to ask for forgiveness. I felt like the author did a good job of packing a lot of doctrine and references to Bible Stories in this book. It would make a great conversation starter to discuss gospel truths.

Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 19:14.

There are times when we will make bad choices again, but that is okay, because we were not made to be perfect. We were created to honor, serve, and love God. Jesus came to be perfect for us because He knew that we could not. So God sent down His Son Jesus, to be our helper.

Cali and Odin are brother and sister and are learning valuable lessons that will deepen and live out their faith. Our siblings and family is the start of living out our faith in love. By serving and honoring our family with God as the center. A great conversation to have with our young children.

A special thank you to Christian Faith Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

A delightful faith-based children's book that sparks young imaginations and encourages important life lessons. Through role-playing with their parents at home, kids can relate to the fun adventures of Cali and Odin. The book beautifully teaches children about making good or bad choices and the concept of forgiveness, instilling valuable values at an early age. The incorporation of biblical themes encourages children to ask questions about the Bible and creates an opportunity for parents to introduce them to the teachings of Jesus and salvation.

I was instantly captivated by the charming world of these young adventurers. The book is not only fun and imaginative but also packed with valuable life lessons that every child should learn. Through role-playing, kids can relate to the relatable experiences of Cali and Odin while discovering the importance of making good choices and understanding the power of forgiveness. I loved how the book seamlessly integrates faith-based themes, giving parents the perfect opportunity to discuss the Bible and Jesus with their kids. As a parent, I highly recommend Adventures with Cali and Odin to other families looking for a faith-centered children's book that fosters a deeper connection between parents and their little ones.

This book was a mix of imaginative play and Christian-based learning. It follows two siblings as they play together and learn about Jesus/the Bible. The book was alright. Not super engaging for kids. And it's almost like a mix of narration and lines for a play because it just says "Name: _______" rather than including quotes within the story. Which I think would be confusing for kids trying to follow along

This is quite a wholesome little book for people who want to introduce their children to Christian values, and the illustrations are cute as well.

I like the range of family activities featured, where the parents and the children do things together. I also like the understanding of the fact that sometimes good people make bad choices.

The two things that I found on unappealing about the story were:

Firstly, the initial references to bad choices as "sins". This seems a rather harsh word to use for whatever misbehaviour children might get up to. A word like sin - and also evil, which isn't referenced here - are probably best left out of children's books.

Secondly, for a book that purports to be about spiritual learning, the concept of rewards for good behaviour by the children that are spelt out are almost all material things. Would it not have been better to have suggested that sometimes good behaviour is its own reward - and to show the benefits in non-material terms?

I will also admit to slight amusement - though no objection whatsoever - to a book like this having a protagonist named after the ancient Norse God, Allfather Odin, whose (reported) behaviour would be most unlikely to meet with the approval of most Christians...
