The Oak Inside the Acorn is a tender, beautifully illustrated story that helps children understand the journey of growing into who God created them to be. When a little acorn is separated from his mother oak tree, he feels uncertain and afraid. But as time passes, he begins to grow—first into a small tree, then into a mighty oak—learning that God has a plan for his life. Max Lucado’s gentle narrative reassures children that they are made with purpose and will flourish in time, just as God intended.
