Even if that lambThis sweet little book is the perfect story to help your little one learn about how Jesus will always go looking for His lost lambs. Even if that lamb chooses to wander away from his flock, the Shepherd still comes for him when he is lost. ** Blurb: Clover the Lamb is always up to mischief, but when she wanders too far and cries out for help, she learns the love and help of her Good Shepherd are always near. 100 Little Lambs is a playful read-aloud with heart, teaching young readers about the parable of the lost sheep and the constant love of their Savior. ** The rhyming cadence of the text makes this a great read aloud for your child, and the illustrations are adorable. This book would make a perfect addition to an Easter basket and I recommend it for anyone looking for books to help their children understand Jesus a little better....more
I love a book that teaches kids about things happening in the world in a way that isn’t scary, intimidating, or difficult to understand. This book doeI love a book that teaches kids about things happening in the world in a way that isn’t scary, intimidating, or difficult to understand. This book does that very well! The Water Princess has to wake up early every morning to fetch the water her family will drink, wash with, and clean with that night. Then she wakes up the next morning and does it again. I think it’s made my kids both aware of the incredible struggles some people (too many people) in this world deal with to get water of any kind, let alone clean water, and appreciate the fact that they have running water any time they wish for it. The illustrations are beautiful, telling side stories all on their own. We love this book!...more

The prose has a delightful rhythm that’s so enjoyable to read and I love knowing that my children are hearing words telling them what God thinks of them and the amazing things they can do. This book is also stunningly beautiful! By now you know that illustrations mean a lot to me in how I feel about children’s books and @davidcatrow just doesn’t disappoint. My 2yo wants to “read” this every single night but all he wants is to look at the illustrations and make up noises each character must be making. He’s fun. ☺️ If you are at all interested in non-denominational Christian children’s books (that’s a dizzying sentence ...more

It’s about a young boy and his father and their interactions throughout the day with one another and the city around them. As they prepare for and go on a picnic, the young boy talks about things that make him different or unique or like his dad and how all of those make up the perfect design of him. ...more

Somehow, Gillian manages to make it look like light is actually spilling from the pages. There is so much inclusion and diversity and imagination happening here. This book is worth it for the illustrations alone. ...more
I have been trying to be more conscious about having books in my home that show and teach my children about different cultures, races, and beliefs. I I have been trying to be more conscious about having books in my home that show and teach my children about different cultures, races, and beliefs. I know books hold great power and I want that power to be used for good for my children in many ways. They deserve that. So when I saw this beautiful book, I knew I just had to get it. And it is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. ...more

This little picture book is adorable. I love the illustrations! But I love the message even more. The cultural diversity and representation is spot on and is helping to fill a need we have desperately had in LDS picture books for years. I like that the author isn’t presenting any supposition about what Heavenly Father looks like, but still reiterates that every person—boy or girl, black or white, big or small—was created by a loving Heavenly Father and that we become like Him, even come to “look” like Him, by doing the things He would do if He were here. The only thing I wish were added is that we also have a Heavenly Mother, Who loves us, and that we can become like Her as well. I do recognize, though, that the purpose of the book is to highlight the diversity of God’s creations, particularly in His children, and that the diversity gives us beauty all throughout the world. The discussion questions at the end of the book are a wonderful addition.
