The Oak Inside the Acorn

It was hard for Little Acorn to believe he would ever be a big oak tree. He couldn't grow oranges like the orange tree. He just grew and grew until he became Big Oak, and his branches were big and strong-but still he didn't know what he was to do. Then one day Big Oak found that his strong branches were just right for a very special purpose.

Every person is tasked with learning why they were created and the unique gifts that make them special. Written by New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado, The Oak Inside the Acorn teaches about the incredible miracle inside each of us while reminding us that we were created by God for a special purpose.

The story highlights the adventure of a sweet little acorn becoming a big, strong oak tree. Readers will cheer on the growing tree when he can't grow oranges like the orange tree or flowers like the rose bush. Children will read with wonder as the tree grows empty branches, and later, a very special purpose is revealed.

  • All of God's creations have purpose and contribute to the well-being of others
  • Patience is a process, and it takes time to grow into all God created them to be
  • Life is a journey, and God has a plan for them through the ups and downs

This wonderful picture book makes an excellent

  • Bedtime story for snuggling close with little ones
  • Inspirational gift for graduation, baptism, baby showers and dedications, and adoptions
