When Worry Whispers by Joyce Meyer Illustrated by Marcin Piwowarski Book Review

When Worry Whispers is a how to book showing children how they should deal when worrying hits them. It begins the book by stating Psalm 55:22 and how we are supposed to give our worries to God and it reminds us that God will take care of us. Many of us struggle with the what if questions and if something bad happens to us. What if we stumble and fall and get hurt. What if we made a mistake and we are laughed at and get embarrassed. What if we try something new and fail greatly. What if tomorrow turns out to be terrible and nothing goes right. Worrying causes us to live in fear and we tend to imagine the worst thing that can happen. It can even cause us a sickness such as a bad tummy ache. Joyce shared the answer to what we need to do to combat worry. We first need to talk to God and remember how He has always taken care of us. He has provided us with promises, such as how He has great plans for us. She ends the book by going back over how we need to answer the what if questions to obtain our peace.  

 

 

 

I would recommend this life changing book to children aged 2-9. Joyce has an excellent way in helping us teach our children about worrying and living in fear. I loved how she answered some of the what if questions and helped flip the script we are telling ourselves to help us deal with fear. I also immensely liked how they drew a dark cloud over the characters of the book that is meant to be like an invisible whisper overseeing what we are doing and telling us how we should feel. This book makes a very moving conversation starter between our kids and their worries and provides us with way to teach them how to handle them. One of the most serious ways we can use against fear is to think and ponder on God’s promises especially, when we are faced with things to worry about. This book would be a great gift to children who are burden down by the what if questions and worrying about what might happen to them.

Domino’s Tree House by Dawn Patitucci Illustrated by Francisco Fonseca Book Review

 

Domino’s Tree House is a fun adventure about a boy who isn’t happy with his backyard. He would lay in the grass watching the leaves fall and became bored. He decided to build a treehouse where he could sit and enjoy it and he loved eating his snacks. He grew tired of it and he next built a cottage where he could sit by the fire and make soup. He quickly grew bored and next build a tree mansion where he could eat French cakes and slide down the handrails. He decided he needed to build a tree castle and become king over his neighborhood but he still wasn’t satisfied. He keeps building until he winds up in space. There was no good food and it was cold and lonely all the way up in space. At the end of the book, he realized how much he loved the simple life and his backyard wasn’t that bad at all.  

 

 

I would recommend this delightful book to children aged 2-8. It had an excellent message about learning to enjoy where you currently are in life and how the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Each different house he built provided even more ways for him to grow unhappy. It is also a great reminder to parents that a bigger house doesn’t always equal more happiness. It tends to bring about even more challenges. I enjoyed this book and the core message of the book about enjoying the journey and living in the moment. More stuff doesn’t equivalent to being more fulfilled in life.

When I Was Your Age by Danette Byatt Book Review

When I Was Your Age is a children’s book about the different changed throughout the generations and how technology has changed. The setting is in space on a planet in the near future. A grandmother is explaining to her granddaughter, Indigo about the changes that have occurred. The grandmother had to bike to school and that took a great deal of time. Whereas now, they can travel to school in 2.04 seconds in a fast teleport machine. They had a tablet which is like an iPad and now in the future it’s more like a helmet that projects images. The grandmother had a pet dog and Indigo has a pet dragon looking creature. The grandmother dad would bake a cake from scratch and now it’s all completed by lasers. They also in the future have robots who do all of their chores. This book is a fun book about the many changes coming in the future and the amazing adventure headed our way. 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome space theme book to children aged 2-8 and it features creative ways in which we can look forward to in the future. It allows children to be reminded of what past generations experienced. It opened the door for kids to brainstorm what could occur in the future and how technology will change and allow us to do even more. We may even have new pets. The most excited thing in the book I wish would be to fast teleport to work, stores, and to home. I would also like the food being so easily fixed without the preparing and cooking. It would also be beneficially to have robots doing all of the chores. The book reminded me of the Jetsons type feel to it.

Where Are Your Shoes, Mr. Brown? By Justin Rhodes Illustrated by Heather Dickinson Book Review

 

Where Are Your Shoes?, Mr. Brown is a farmer themed children’s book all about a missing pair of shoes that everyone is searching for. There is a lot of work that is needed to be completed around the farm and of course the little boy can’t find his shoes when they are desperately needed. Sometimes the shoes would be hiding in his closet and sometimes they would be nowhere. He thought they at first might be located on the roof. The boy would sometimes get a wild hair and throw them up there. Mr. Brown and his papa looked on the roof and couldn’t find them. They looked near the creek, the barn, lettuce patch, chicken coop, and many more fun places. His sister even tried to let him borrow hers and they wouldn’t fit. His father finally carried him on his back everywhere while his papa worked. They completed wheel barreling tasks, picking the garden, feeding the pigs, watering the crops, and much more. The book showed a father and son enjoying the company of each other and his papa knew it wouldn’t last forever. 

 

 

I would recommend this remarkable book about a father and son bonding to children aged 1-8. I liked how the book showed a family enjoying a meal together and being together as a family. It also showed a father truly loving on his kid and carrying him around, protecting him, and assisting him with trying to find his lost shoes. You didn’t see the father beating his son down with negative words or giving him a difficult time when he lost his shoes again. Even though the son regularly loses his shoes, he didn’t shame him. I thought this was a wonderful example of a father’s love and the Heavenly Father’s love to us. I loved how it was based off of true story on Youtube’ star, influencer, and homesteader. They take care of a 75 acre’s farm as a family. His son really does struggle with losing his shoes. This book is an excellent teaching moment between a father and son and children will learn a lot from it.

A Love Letter from God by P.K. Hallinan Book Review

A Love Letter from God is a personal book enclosed with a collection of reminders of how much God loves us. Our laugher is a special treasure that is worth more than gold. Our hearts are a direct representation of God’s goodness and mercy and we see it in our reflection. God will always lead us everywhere we are and He will provide for us. He will send us friends our way that will help to positively brighten our days. We can laugh, solve riddles together, play games. When we face hardship or challenges or fall, we can rely on the fact that God will use it all for our good and it will make us stronger. You will bring us blessings and cause rainbows to form and give us beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We can always remember to look up and see the stars shining bright and be reminded that His love for us is incredible. 

 

 

I would recommend this splendid book to children aged 1-7 and parents are seeking a good book to teach our children the hope and love Christ has for His children. The book was a wonderful book to reminder readers how much God cares for His children and is a great introduction to the principles of Christ. One of my favorite pages was the one that discussed the goodness and mercy and how our heart is a reflection of Him. I thought seeing the ducks floating in the lake being fed and the word me being reflected into the lake was very eye opening and is a great prompt to children. The illustrations were very colorful and I really enjoyed how they sketched them and made them very kid’s friendly.

It’s a wonderful introduction to prayer and praying for the fruits of the spirit, growing in faith, not living in fear, and praying that our children will change the world. You can tell by reading this children’s book it is based solely on scriptures and principles that our children can use to begin the strong foundation that will be needed to get through challenges they will face.
