Seek and Find Christmas Lift-the-Flap Book by Sarah Parker & illustrated by Andre Parker [Review & Giveaway]
✨Bring True Christmas Story to the Tiny Ones ✨
My thoughts: Sized just right for little ones, this sturdy board book offers opportunities to seek out details and lift-the-flap to discover bits of the story. Charming illustrations veer off the traditional "Christmas red & green" pallet and bring in a more regal blue and gold with brown tones. Refreshingly different.
Two types of flaps are used. A large one that allows child to discover major story part. A smaller one that has child find various little objects and count them. And as the child engages in these activities, they are learning about the birth of the baby Jesus as it is simply told in text and lovely illustrations. Parents have directions on where to find related Scripture for the story elements on each page.
A special "First Christmas" book for the little ones.
About the book: Secret word: Christ This fun and faithful lift-the-flap book will teach toddlers key truths about the first Christmas. They will love interacting with the Christmas story as they lift a flap on each page to see what happens next.
This beautifully illustrated board book makes a wonderful gift for 1-3-year-olds, and is a useful resource for homeschool.

"It's Good To Be A Girl" A Celebration of All That God Made Girls to Be - [Review & Giveaway]
 |
| Young girls will learn that they have been carefully designed by God and that whatever they do in life, they can reflect who God is by following Jesus. |
My thoughts: Beautifully written to show girls that it is good, it is wonderful, it is great to be a girl. Also, that a girl can do many things that years ago were thought inappropriate for them or that they were thought to be incapable of doing.
Girl's strength to be and do wonderful things can come from a relationship with Jesus and the God of the Bible.
I think that this story book gives faith driven families an opportunity to show their girls that God the Father and His son Jesus empowers them to have the desire, strength, knowledge, and perseverance to be and do what their heart desires.

Building a child's faith journey home library: Zacchaeus, Jesus, Hands for Jesus [Review & Giveaway]
What are you doing to build your child's home library that will aid in his faith journey? Start young! Start with truth and faithfully rendered Bible story books.
The Man in the Tree & the Brand New Start: A True Story about Zacchaeus & the Difference Knowing Jesus Makes by Carl Laferton & illustrated by Catalina Echeverri
 |
| Buy Here Free Activity Downloads |
My thoughts: This is a New Testament Bible story that is always a favorite of young children and they most always respond wonderfully to it's telling. In this author's and artist's retelling of Zacchaeus' story, it begins with three things to know about Zacchaeus - he was short, he was very rich, and he was not happy. And then one day Jesus came to town.
The illustrations are super cute and colorful. The presentation is several small scenes and short paragraphs of text of each page that will engage the young reader or listener. And Zacchaeus in the tree is really something to see. And then Jesus saw him and what a change.
The book then segues to a modern home and applies it to life for today. Beautifully told and a sure winner for building your child's faith library.

Introducing inspiring young children's biography "Do Great Things for God" series of Christian women [Review & Giveaway]
 |
| Find all titles at: TheGoodBook Suitable for ages 4 to 7 Free downloadable activity sheets, etc. available on site. |
Let me introduce you to The Good Book biography series featuring Christian women. This review will feature three titles: Susannah Spurgeon, Fanny Crosby, & Queen Elizabeth II.
Susannah Spurgeon: The Pastor’s Wife Who Didn’t Let Sickness Stop Her by Mary K. Mohler & illustrated by Cecilia Messina
My thoughts: A lovely telling of the conversion of Susannah under the minstry and preaching of Charles Spurgeon. She later became his wife. The book shows how her life as his wife supported his ministry. She even established a "book fund" to collect funds for the distribution of Spurgeon's books to those who could not afford them.
Her health was poor and a frequent challenge creating hardships for her. She persisted in living out her life as a devoted pastor's wife.
The illustrations are charming and will capture the attention of young readers. This book, as with others in the "Do Great Things for God" series, has free online activities that can be downloaded. I am so glad to see this story included in the series.
About the book: The true story of Susannah Spurgeon, the wife of British pastor Charles Spurgeon.
Susannah was married to a very gifted and busy preacher, who could not have done all he did without her support. Susie experienced poor health for much of her life but she did not let that stop her from serving. One key way that she served the wider church was by creating the Book Fund, which gave free copies of Charles' books to poor pastors who could not afford to buy them. Secret word: biographies
My thoughts: I absolutely love this children's biography of Fanny Crosby. The illustrations are superb and the story so very sweet and informative. Fanny Crosby's life could have been so sad and filled with desperation. But it wasn't. It was filled with life, poetry, joy, music.

Fanny Crosby: The Girl Who Couldn't See But Helped The World To Sing by Laura Wickham & illustrated by Jess Rose
My thoughts: I absolutely love this children's biography of Fanny Crosby. The illustrations are superb and the story so very sweet and informative. Fanny Crosby's life could have been so sad and filled with desperation. But it wasn't. It was filled with life, poetry, joy, music.
Her hymns have brought a spirit of worship to my heart and to untold millions of others as well as shaped and instilled an understanding of our connection to God. We have found joy and assurance, peace and contentment, and promise of God's faithfulness in the words and musical compositions from this beloved lady.
I am delighted with this series and that young children, especially girls, can enjoy learning about Christian women's lives.
About the book: The true story of one of the world’s most famous hymn writers. Frances—or Fanny, as everyone called her—was blind for most of her life but rejoiced that the first thing her eyes would see would be "the face of Jesus in heaven.” Fanny used her extraordinary musical ability to write hymns we still sing today, such as "To God Be the Glory" and "Blessed Assurance".
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
My thoughts: For many people around the World, Queen Elizabeth II has been "their" lady, queen, monarch, and source of respect and pride. For others, such as myself - an American, she has been a respected and admired figure head of a major peaceful country with which America is allied. But she has been much more. She has been a gracious, admirable lady. And even more so, she has voiced her dependence on Almighty God, His Son, Jesus and lived her life as a strong advocate of Christianity.

Queen Elizabeth II: The Queen Who Chose To Serve by Alison Mitchell & illustrated by Emma Randall
My thoughts: For many people around the World, Queen Elizabeth II has been "their" lady, queen, monarch, and source of respect and pride. For others, such as myself - an American, she has been a respected and admired figure head of a major peaceful country with which America is allied. But she has been much more. She has been a gracious, admirable lady. And even more so, she has voiced her dependence on Almighty God, His Son, Jesus and lived her life as a strong advocate of Christianity.
This little biography of Queen Elizabeth II balances her life and the times in which she lived beautifully. The illustrations are lovely and showcase a myriad of personages with whom she interacted through the years. She truly had a remarkable reign.
Truly an interesting and good book to share with young girls.
About the book: Princess Elizabeth never expected to be Queen. But when she was ten, her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated and everything changed… Her father took over as King, but after 15 years on the throne, he died. So when she was just 25 years old, Elizabeth was crowned Queen and became the longest-serving monarch in British history.
This inspiring children’s biography of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) chronicles key moments in her life. It also highlights her Christian faith, in particular what she has said in her Christmas Day speeches.
Young children will learn more about the incredible life and faith of Britain’s longest-serving monarch and they will be inspired about the great things they can do for God.

The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross by Carl Laferton & Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri "More in Tales That Tell the Truth Series" [board book review & giveaway]
Easter - Resurrection Day - is celebrated March 31, 2024. Prepare now to focus on our Savior's sacrifice and hope it brings.
Children need more than bunnies and chicks - they need the garden and the Christ of the cross.
 |
| ISBN: 9781784985813 Buy It Here $9.99 |
My thoughts: Teaching young children the truth of Christ's sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection is difficult. There is a fine line to balance between the beauty of His death and resurrection to pay the penalty for our sins and the horror of the very act of his death on the cross. So just how much to share with our wee little ones? How to share that information? How to instill a reverence and love for their Savior. How to NOT scare them or open a dark hole of fear and horror.
