My Thoughts:
This was the first time I read a book by the author, Sally Lloyd-Jones, but it will not be my last. We received this book a couple of weeks ago to review and both of my girls as well I fell in love with the story, which is a retelling of Psalm 23 for little ones to understand. Now that my girls are getting older and asking more questions about God, the Bible and their faith, I am always on the lookout for books like this that I can share with them and that will help them understand their faith and God more.
With only a a few sentences per, kids are kept engaged, while also enjoying the beautiful illustrations from Jago. The girls were asked to memorize Psalm 23, but never understood what it was. But, with the help of this retelling in a more simpler way and will pictures, they were able to understand it better. My youngest after hearing me share this story, said, "Oh, so we are one of God's sheep" and that the Shepherd looks over all the sheep and protects then from hard. She was all happy she finally understood what Psalm 23 meant, and couldn't wait to share it with her Sunday School class. So, last week she brought this book in and her teacher shared it with the class. The teacher told me after the class that it was like a light bulb going on in the heads of much of the children after she read the story to them about what Psalm 23 was about. She was so happy we brought this book to share, and I am happy that I am now in the know about the wonderful author and illustrator. Will definitely be keeping an eye out for Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago, and pick up more of their faith-based books for my girls.
