My
Thoughts:
I
love this book.
Glenys has chosen several wonderful stories about women, in the Bible, to
retell. She's written each one in easy to understand language and shows that
God values girls as the daughters he's created. The lift-the-flap letters from
God are encouraging and uplifting. Rachel's artwork is just lovely. The colors,
drawings, and ephemera she uses to create each piece goes beautifully with each
girl's story. As my daughters grew up I wanted them to know that God loved them
and valued them. This book is a great place to start if you want to encourage young
ladies in their relationship with God. I will share these heartwarming stories
with my granddaughters.
