Book Review: Whatever you grow up to be

 
_225_350_Book.1126.cover

Whatever You Grow Up to Be

By Karen Kingsbury, illustrated by Valeria Docampo
Book Description: From New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury, a new children’s book about a very special mother-son relationship.
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury explores with heartwarming clarity the special bond between a mother and her son. From birth to football games to college graduation, the mother reminds her maturing child of God’s promises for him—whatever he grows up to be.
A companion piece to Kingsbury’s Always Daddy’s Princess, a picture book about one father’s love for his daughter as she matures from baby to parent herself, Whatever You Grow Up to Be will remind young boys and their moms of all the blessings they share. Told in playful and emotive verse—with a whisper of Scripture enriching every page—children and parents will find fun and encouragement in the supportive guidance of God’s word.
Perfect for gift giving and special occasions, this book can serve as a treasured keepsake as well as a compelling reminder of the influence a loving mother can have in the life of her son.
Our Thoughts: Our family really likes this book and it has become a fixture in our bedtime book rotation. The cute illustrations are great for our non readers and the pages have just the right amount of words for our budding reader as well. I love the bible verses printed on each page that corresponds to what the story is telling. I was recently introduced to  Karen Kingsbury's adult books and hadn't realized she writes children's books as well. This author really paints a picture of gods love. I want to pick up all of her children's books for our little ones.

Book Review–A Christmas Gift for Rose

A-Christmas-Gift-for-RoseA Christmas Gift for Rose

by Tricia Goyer

Description: Born in the midst of the hardships of The Great Depression, Rose grew up in Berlin, Ohio, in the arms of a loving Amish family. But as she prepares to marry, she’s thrown into confusion when she learns the truth of her birth. She was born Englisch and abandoned when the family moved on in search of work.

Was she meant to be Amish or would she have been better off growing up with her own kind—Englischers? And was her intended’s gift of discovering her birth family given out of love or fear?

 

My Thoughts: War time is confusing and hard for anyone. And it’s the same for the Amish. The who want to live by the faith choose to go to prison rather than fight but not Jonathan Fisher. Jonathan feels that God is calling him to serve so he signs up and goes off to war as a medic. Back home his betroved Rose, faces the Amish community and their opinions on Jonathan’s choice. After his return Rose has to look into herself and choose to forgive him all while her world is rocked with a secret that has finally been revealed. Does she even know who she is anymore? I loved the conflicting emotions Rose faces as she discovers that being born Amish isn't as important as ‘being’ Amish and her struggle to find her family without turning from the family that has raised her.
