What do we do when we get our prayers answered? Pray some MORE! That's what Jesús discovered.
I have been choosing the most delightful children's books lately and I have yet to be disappointed. You CAN actually judge a book by its cover!
The colors of the cover of Jesús, Mary and Joseph are light and bright and the decision to use childlike drawings and handwriting give you a feeling of affinity and connection. That's exactly what you get when you read the book.
The points that stood out for me:
-The story shows instead of tells, the lesson that we should pray about everything and God will help us.
-Like his namesake Jesus, Jesús prayed about everything.
- It reminded me of the premise of my favorite book, Are You There God, It's Me Margaret.
Overall, it was heartwarming read and right on time for the upcoming season. Young readers will enjoy the illustrations. I thought the synopsis done as the School Nativity program with Jesús' side notes was a delightful touch. It set the tone for the reading experience.
My favorite line was, "Dear God, Today we learned a new word…"
I chuckled. You will have to read the book yourself to discover the new word learned.
This book would be a good tool for parents or Sunday school teachers to teach about the power of prayer.
Note:
I received an advance review copy at no cost to me and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
