The Topsy Turvy King by Alison Brewis

Written in rhyme, this picture book explains how Jesus is the promised King, but that he was not a king like his disciples expected.

This won Good Book Mom’s Early Childhood Book of the Year in 2023.

This lighthearted book recounts Jesus’ ministry, focusing especially on the week before the crucifixion through his resurrection. While overall it may be lighthearted, it communicates big truths about Jesus as the servant king and that his death and resurrection were exactly God’s plan.
