A Gentle, Hope-Filled Picture Book for Tough Days

Expected 12 Aug 25

Every Breath, Every Blessing is a beautifully illustrated book that helps kids navigate the hard stuff—big feelings, fears, and the difficulties of life. With poetic text and warm, comforting images, it reassures kids they’re not alone, even on the toughest days. The message is one of gratitude, peace, and presence.

It’s aimed at ages 4–8, but I’d say it’s better suited for the older end of that range. Some ideas might be a little deep for the youngest listeners. The mention of the “Giver of Breath” is thoughtful, though I was hoping for a clearer connection to God.

Still, it’s a tender book that offers comfort and calm in a noisy world. A good read-aloud for families and classrooms alike.  4 stars.
