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 […]

A Heartwarming Guide to Prayer for Kids
This sweet picture book is a gentle and thoughtful introduction to prayer that kids (and their grown-ups) will love. In All the Things I Say to God, little Abby wonders if she can pray to God all by herself.

A Whimsical Retelling of the Christmas Story
I recently read The Christmas Promise with my granddaughter, and it was a delightful experience.

Alison Mitchell’s writing style is simple and engaging, making it perfect for children aged 3 to 6, while the vivid illustrations by Catalina Echeverri bring the story to life. As fans of the “Tales that Tell the Truth Series,” we found this book to be another excellent addition. The series consistently provides faithful, Bible-centered storytelling paired with artwork that […]

Our Take on Indescribable Atlas Adventures
I recently read Indescribable Atlas Adventures with my grandkids, who are smack in the book’s target range (ages 5–10). While I found the atlas charming and packed with potential, it didn’t quite hit the mark with our little explorers. The kids perked up for the animal sections—who wouldn’t love learning about the Amazon or the Arctic? But when it came to the country overviews and cultural details, they lost interest fast. I don’t blame them; the information felt more like a lecture than a lively adventure. My daughter, who homeschools them, agreed. While the concept is great, the execution lacked the pizzazz needed to captivate curious young minds. That said, […]
