A cute biblical story of Annie and Adam with 'wowtastic' illustrations! I love how grandpa has a tummy and how Annie and Adam have Big eyes---eyes filled with the wonder of childhood innocence. I think I enjoy children's picture books because I love pictures! Isn't a picture worth a thousand words?! So, as you read this book to a young child, he or she can follow along with the wonderful artwork and pretty soon be able to tell you the story from the pictures!
It`s difficult to explain who God is to children. I feel that the author, Kathleen Ruckman, did an excellent job of describing the Wonderful Creator's love for us and His awesome presence! I love this part of the story as grandpa explains God's never changing ways to Annie and Adam, "Always remember, when things change so fast and life gets hard, God is the One person who never ever changes. You can always count on Him. He is like the anchor on a boat. God holds on to you-and His love will never let you go." This is also a great story for adults too. We become hardened and forget that we need to have the heart of a child. Need a lift? Read this fantastic child's book and relish in the love of the Father!
I tested this book on my ten year old. He read the story and then we discussed his questions regarding our heavenly Father. S0...I also found this book to be a great discussion starter about God and Biblical values.
I highly recommend this book with two thumbs up and look forward to reading her next book.
