As time has progressed, I have tried to expand the books I read and review. As I entered fatherhood last July, I found myself reading books written for children almost every evening. As bedtime routine often includes reading a short book, I figured this was just as good of time as any to jump into requesting this genre. My first endeavor is When God Made You from Matthew Paul Turner. It does not disappoint.
I have read many of Turner’s books before, but this is his first children’s book and I hope it is not his last. I see a little similarity in his older writings, but this one is something special. I loved how the storyline was not difficult as much as it was repetitive. The fact that God loves us and wants to have a relationship with us is repeated page after page. I believe it will help engrain this truth into the lives of young children.
The artwork is also of note. It is astonishing the amount of detail that is placed into each page. To me, I found the artwork what actually told the story more than the actual words. Regardless, it is very, very well done.
This is going to be my go to book to give to newly expecting parents from now on for their child’s collection. From end to end the entire thing is a work of art. I suppose you could say that about all books, but this one takes it to the next level.
I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. The words written here are my own and have not been influenced in any manner.
