The TLV Young Readers Edition was created for our most important readers—our children! Designed especially for ages 8–12, this vibrant edition helps young believers discover the God of Israel through Scripture in its original Jewish context. With the same care and reverence that defines every Tree of Life Version Bible, this edition opens the door for children to explore the story of redemption from Genesis to Revelation.
Crafted over years of collaboration between TLV scholars, educators, and artists, this Bible highlights the metanarrative of God’s redemptive plan—focusing on His character rather than simply on biblical heroes. Each story is paired with original full-color illustrations that directly connect to the artwork in our adult TLV editions, helping families learn and grow together through one unified visual and spiritual journey.
Rooted in Truth, Full of Wonder
Unlike paraphrased children’s Bibles, the Young Readers Edition uses actual TLV Scripture selections, carefully abridged and theologically vetted for comprehension and faithfulness to the Word. It’s designed to help children not just read about God, but truly know Him—to see His love, His promises, and His plan for redemption woven throughout every story.
Our prayer is that this edition will help families bring the Bible to life together—introducing the invisible God to children through the Good News of Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel.

A Bible That Grows with Your Family
The Tree of Life Version was created by Jewish and Christian scholars working together to restore the Jewish context of Scripture for all believers. The TLV Young Readers Edition carries that same mission to the next generation—helping children grow up knowing that the story of the Bible is their family story, too.
“She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and blessed will be all who hold firmly to her.” — Proverbs 3:18 (TLV)
I bought 2, so far, of your Young Readers Bibles. They are beautiful and educational and loved by all. I may buy another for myself? I am glad to read the Bible I love and worship the God I love! I am thankful to present your Bible to teach others. Amen! Thank you Daniah …

Great Bible for children
This Bible was purchased for an 8 year old boy. He is so happy with the Tree of Life Bible that he shows his Bible to everyone. The pictures in the bible are great and the text is understandable for the young boy.

Good for kids
I like that this is actual Scripture, and not a paraphrase. It's not a full Bible--portions are edited out. But it's nice for kids who are too young for some of the biblical narratives. We like the pictures, too.

I bought the heritage Bible and was able to donate it to my congregation. We now use it for the weekly Torah readings. Everyone loves it!

This is not a bible, it is passages that werevtaken out of context and made to be inferior to the original text.
