~A wonderful family book, best suited for ages 3 - 8~
Summary:
One
in a Billion by Sharlee Mullins Glenn tells a wonderful message.
Using the story of a gardener and his flowers, the author shares how special
and unique each individual is. A daisy is overwhelmed by all the
flowers in the garden around her and wonders how the gardener could possibly
love her. Encouraged by a conversation with a robin, the daisy asks
the gardener an important question. The answer is a wonderful discovery
we can all learn from.
My thoughts:
This
story tells a message I think every parent should share with their children.
My children have enjoyed this story, but I think I may enjoy it even more!
The illustrations are beautiful and greatly add to the message. It
is hard to read this book and not remember how important each individual
person is. We are children of God and He loves us, every one.
For a wonderful boost of self-esteem, I highly recommend this book.
