One of my favorite books
Derived From Web , Dec 21, 2021
The book depicts the child as a baby and full grown. If you have a son, it may be harder to relate to me since I have a daughter.

cute book

This book follows the little girl, not just a group of kids. It is a cute book, but it does get a little long.

This book is very cute. The first time I read it, I cried. It has a lot of pages and not a lot of words. It makes a good book for sleep.

Couldn’t hold back my tears

I cried tears of joy as I read it for the first time. I have never posted a review before and I am wiping my tears as I write this. My prayers are echoed by this beautiful book. She is almost 3 years old and as I think about her life, I am filled with gratitude. God hears our prayers. Thank you for reading this book. I will treasure it forever.

Beware before you buy!!
Derived From Web , Jan 30, 2020
I wanted to read this book, but I was turned off by the ghost stories. I didn't think this would be in a Christian book. My children were scared and it was a deal-breaker for me because we don't watch or read ghost. If you are considering this book, please keep this in mind.

Neglects God's great gift of salvation
Derived From Web , Nov 19, 2019
The book paints a beautiful picture of a temporal life but ignores the more important reality of eternity. I ordered several copies of the book for Christmas gifts and will be giving them a caveat to its unbalanced content. The illustrations and imagery are beautiful. The sentiment of a mother loving her child and wanting the best life for her child is commendable. The author suggests that a worthwhile life comes from being true to yourself or being a good person. The true source of life has been diminished. God isn't depicted as the Maker, Sustainer, and Saviour of the human race. He doesn't mention the mother's prayer for the child's salvation or even indicate that it is necessary, effectively ignoring the primary prayer of a Christian mother.

Get it! I can’t say enough good things about it.
Derived From Web , May 17, 2019
If you want to cry, read this with your kid. Maybe on your own? William Joyce wrote one of my favorite books for children. This one goes up with it. It evokes that emotion in a way that makes you feelWOW. It was a great book.

Geared towards girls
Derived From Web , Apr 18, 2019
I like the book. I bought it to give to a friend so she could read it to her grandson, so I should have read the description first. The main character of the book is a girl. I wish the illustrator had balanced out the pictures so that they could have been geared towards both genders. It was conflicting about giving it now. I may find a friend with a girl.
