Children's books are fun to review since they bring delight to children's little minds. Books that are Bible based are a win-win in our family as well. My grandchildren and I had the opportunity to review Nothing by Natalee Creech by WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group. It's a hardcover book, recommended for ages 4-7, that provides answers to Romans 8:38-39 on how nothing can separate us from God's Love. It is beautifully illustrated by Joseph Cowman providing children with a delightful view as the story proceeds.
My oldest daughter said:
The author provided an opportunity to utilize fun illustrations and scenes with descriptive sentences in reaching out to children and to learn, no matter what, God will still love us. From space to the ocean to all in between, Ms. Creech provides a playful set to draw children into wanting to read the book and to see the beautiful illustrations.
This was one of my favorite pages with the whimsical little girl being held up high by an assumed parent being reassured that nothing can separate us from God's love.
My eight-year-old granddaughter said:
It's very fun to read to them first, and then to watch my granddaughter read. She really enjoyed reading to her little brother and as you can see in the photographs, they really did have fun reading Nothing by Natalee Creech.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, it was a wonderful book to introduce or reinforce Romans 8:38-39 to the welcoming mind. The whimsical illustrations drew my grandchildren in to see what might be next in the story of how God's love never leaves us. The author did a fantastic job in creating a story that was short enough to not lose even the youngest of listeners while robust enough to provide the beginner reader an opportunity to learn on their own. The scenes included boys and girls and fun objects that all young children love from space to the sea to sharks to camels. It's a fun book to read to your children or have them read to you. It's also, in my opinion, not one that should be read and shelved as it's one of those that could be read again and again.
