We have a
sweet new children’s book around these parts, When God Made You.
I had
never heard of the author, Matthew Paul Turner, but I have read his wife’s book
(The Fringe Hours) so that was fun to learn about.
I really loved
the message of this book, which is that God made each of us individually on
purpose and that all our unique personalities and gifts are in us for a reason.
We try to teach this any ways so I was very much on board with these rhyming
words.
The
illustrator (David Catrow) has illustrated more than 70 children’s books
himself, but I didn’t recognize the name. I thought the illustrations were
beautiful and I plan to see what else he has illustrated.
And now,
for the most important part of this review… the kids’ thoughts:
Me: What
did you think about this book?
Three-year-old: Yeah! Pretty cool.
Two-year-old: Ummmmmm, pretty good.
Me: What was your favorite part?
Three-year-old: All the parts. Can we play outside?
Two-year-old: Babyyyyyy! [illustrations show a baby brother/sister on a few different pages] Me love baby.
Three-year-old: Yeah! Pretty cool.
