This is the second of the three books that I mentioned in yesterday’s review! You will hear me say this about all of these books, but I simply cannot stress enough how beautiful the illustrations in them are! This book is very engaging and my children simply LOVED having it read to them. The illustrations are incredible and imaginative, highlighting the theme of the book by showing us (as well as telling us) all of the ways God loves us!  Here’s more information about the book and author.

You never know when I might play a wild card on you!
