About the Book

When God Made YouYOU, you… God thinks about you.
God was thinking of you long before your debut.

From early on, children are looking to discover their place in the world and longing to understand how their personalities, traits, and talents fit in. Knowing that they are deeply loved and a unique creation in our big universe is certain to help them spread their wings and fly.   
 
Written in playful, charming rhyme and brought to life with vivid, fantastical illustrations, young readers will be encouraged and excited to learn about their own special gifts and how they fit into God’s divine plan as they grow, explore, and begin create for themselves.
 
‘Cause when God made YOU, somehow God knew
That the world needed someone exactly like you!

 

My Review

I had heard so many wonderful comments about this book from others, when the opportunity to get my hands on it came up, I grabbed it. And I was not disappointed.

This book is filled with well-flowing rhymes that give the book a sing-song, nursery rhyme flow from Matthew Paul Turner and beautiful, whimsical artwork from David Catrow. It’s sure to become a bedtime favorite for the little ones in your home.

Readers get a sense of this little girl’s creativity, her impishness, and her heart.

But the most important thing about this book is the message of how God looks out for each and everyone of His children. How He design each person to be an individual.

My Rating:

The Story People by Heather Kaufman

Step into Heather Kaufman’s debut novel, The Story People and experience the power of a good book. Friendships are formed, imaginations are stretched and grown, troubles disappear.

Ben Palermo is discontent with his life. His original plan of taking care of his late uncle’s bookstore for a year before selling it has now become three years. While the people of the town are a draw, he has no direction for his future.

When Rosemary enters his store, Ben’s more engaged than he’s been in a long time. There’s something different about this woman, something familiar. But when three well-meaning busybodies decide they want to keep Ben in town, hilarity ensues. As do the misunderstanding between Rosemary and Ben.

Kaufman doesn’t shy away from real-life issues that are painful. Instead, she approaches them with care and compassion while giving the readers a chance to recover with a pump of humor. It took me a few chapters to get completely engaged in the book but after five or six chapters, I came to care about each of the characters and wanted to continue on this journey with them. Some of my favorite scenes were chapter beginnings with the boy and girl as they created the story people in their secret place.

And this would definitely be one of those books the story people spent a lot of time with.
