My Thoughts

This was a cute book with great illustrations that walks kids through the Garden of Eden biblical account. The illustrations are eye-catching and will really keep kiddos’ attention. I think the author did a great job of breaking down the story in a way that kids can understand. My only issue with the what I read is a back of the book page. It states “DID YOU KNOW GOD HAD A RESCUE PLAN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO SAVE THE FAMILY OF GOD?”, only I wouldn’t say it was a “rescue plan.” Everything that happened was God’s plan from the very beginning. Outside of that, this was a good book for your young kiddos.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Celebrate Lit, this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.

More from Karen

Did you know the cherubim that guard the Garden of Eden have four faces – that of an ox, human, lion, and eagle? You’ll find their description in Ezekiel 10:14, and it’s quite different from most angels you’ll see in traditional children’s books. But you will see them beautifully illustrated in this second installment in the Questions for Kids picture book series, all about the First Family in the Garden of Eden.

You see, my mission from the very beginning has been to present accurate biblical accounts to young readers that are foundational to increasing their understanding of the Bible and growing a solid faith in God.  Kids are bombarded with so many counterfeit messages these days that contradict the Bible, and it’s leaving them confused and hopeless. Is truth relative? Absolutely not! The real Truth lies in God’s Word, and I am grateful to play a part in counteracting the lies of our culture by presenting Truths straight from the Bible, in a fun and dynamic way.

In this book (and book series), you won’t find a regurgitation of Bible facts (that never worked for me as a child). Rather, you’ll find a young girl with many questions about God and life, much like our own children and grandchildren. And you’ll find her loving grandpa who is happy to answer those questions by pointing her to the Word of God. Their adventures into unique periods in Bible history, driven by some serious 7-year old questions, will help pull young readers into the narrative and connect the Bible to their world. It’ll also open doors to faith-building conversations with parents, grandparents, caregivers, and teachers.

The hardest part of writing these books? Keeping it short enough to fit into the picture book category ;).

I pray you and your young reader will be blessed as you journey with Lucy and her Papa Joe into the Bible to discover God’s power, His faithfulness, and His never-ending love.
