Christian children story picture book

I have a childrens story editor that is situated in an african village and has music as well as a rhyming narrative but wanted to make the story more Christ centered and really draw the childrens of 5-8 years old in....using contrast through the story ie light vs darkness joy vs sadness and unravel the gift/present of unwrapping our unique talents using creative narrative structure to display this but at the same time keep it simple
