It is identified as book number 408-1 and a Third Printing from 1980, indicating a specific edition and age. The book features a vibrant, colorful illustration on its cover depicting Jesus surrounded by several children. Jesus is centrally positioned, dressed in a blue tunic, with light brown hair and a beard, holding a baby.
