How Our Books Are Made

Illustrator creating the handmade paper-craft artwork for Jesus Loves You, He Told Me So!, featuring Honey the bee surrounded by colorful art supplies.

Not Just Illustrated. Built by Hand.

Before our books ever become books, they begin as piles of paper.

Every character, flower, tree, background, and tiny detail you see in our illustrations is created by hand.

Megan selects papers, creates custom patterns, cuts individual pieces, and layers colors and textures until an entire scene comes to life.

There are no shortcuts to the process.

The finished paper craft scenes are professionally photographed and transformed into the pages your child holds in their hands.

We even weave Scripture into the artwork itself. Look closely and you’ll discover meaningful details throughout our books, including Scripture incorporated into Jesus’ robe and Honey the Bee’s wings.

It’s part of what makes a Bee Like Jesus book feel different.

Handmade artwork. Thoughtful details. Biblical truth.

We want our books to feel less like something that was simply purchased and more like something worth keeping. The kind of beautiful hardcover book that stays on a child’s bookshelf long after the little hands holding it have grown.

Because the message inside is timeless, we believe the way we create it should feel special too.

KNOW HIS LOVE. BEE HIS LOVE
