The Boy From the House of Bread

The Boy from the House of Bread is a beautifully told, creatively illustrated children’s book that invites young readers into the story of Jesus through the eyes of Alex—a curious African boy living in the first century. Alex hears rumours of a Man with miraculous power, a Man connected somehow to “the House of Bread.” When he finally sees Jesus heal, teach, and multiply loaves, his life is changed forever.

Told in gentle rhyme with quirky, expressive artwork, this book helps children understand Jesus’ ministry in a fresh and meaningful way. The repeated theme of bread—its everyday presence and its spiritual significance—opens rich conversations about Jesus as the Bread of Life, making this a wonderful read-aloud for families who want to help kids know and love Him more.

Perfect for ages 4–8, this story captures imagination, encourages wonder, and points little hearts toward the One who still does miracles today.
