The other day my daughter who is four years old came with a book and a pencil. She asked me to give her the different versions of the Bible so that she could write down.
I didn't know where to start given that it's complex to explain to her.
If you were in my shoes what could you have done?

4 years old and asking you questions like that. That child is a genius! Nurture her mind and help her to develop it. Do your schools help gifted children? If not, try to contact Oprah Winfrey. I'm not joking. She's big on helping young girls get a good education..

That is a lot to write down. I would also say maybe for her to look and research different versions online.

That's pretty young for a child to even realize there are different versions.
Is maybe talk about three. The one you use and ones that are written in common language of the day in your area if there are any.

There are lots of versions you can find online. For sure. I am using ESV.
