Are you looking for God honoring books that will captivate your child’s imagination, teach them faith-building biblical concepts, and help them grow in their reading skills?

This beautifully illustrated book introduces young readers to the Creation Account, through the eyes of seven year old Lucy Lu, a creatively curious first grader who is starting to have serious questions about God.
Questions like…

I wrote this book because I want every child to know their life matters. To know that the God of all things created them in His image, on purpose and for a good purpose.
Guess How Much God Loves You will have seven books in the series with each one covering an important Bible account critical to building an understanding of God’s character and His love for all people, including your reader!
This first book is about the Creation Account as recorded in the Bible. Future books will cover the Garden of Eden, Noah’s Ark, the Exodus and more.
I want children to understand these are not just stories about fictional characters, but historical accounts about real people they can relate to. People who experienced God’s power, love, and faithfulness.
My greatest desire is to see this next generation trust the Bible and enjoy reading it. More than ever, young readers need to hear the message that they are valuable, loved unconditionally by the One who created them and gave them the best gift of all, His Son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
MY REVIEW
I love when I find books that I can read and pass on to my grandchildren. This book is beautifully illustrated with colors that pop off the pages. I plan on doing a FaceTime with my granddaughters and use this book as story time. The ideal age for this book would be kindergarten thru third grade but younger ones will enjoy it as well.
Lucy is struggling with self confidence as classmates start to make fun of her. I know how that feels all too well. It hurts and makes you feel unwanted. Lucy begins to question if God loves her. I like that she is taking interest in knowing God and discovering just how much He loves each of us. As her grandpa begins to share from the Bible, Lucy sees that God made everything because He loves us. The trees, the beautiful birds and even the breathtaking flowers are gifts from Him.
The author takes us on a journey in the Bible when God created all these things that we get to enjoy. I love that the author illustrated grandpa reading from the Bible. This will encourage children to want to have their own so they can learn more about God.
What a great story to show children that they are loved and special. Lucy is now excited to read more from the Bible and begin her relationship with God.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
