Back in May Little Bit and I had the pleasure of reviewing a board book by Marianne Richmond. Little Bit and I thoroughly enjoy the bright pictures and lyrical wording in that book.
Not long ago I was approached about reviewing Marianne's new book "I Believe In You." I felt so blessed to receive another one of this talented lady's books for children. "I Believe In You" came in beautifully hardbound book with a pretty dust jacket. Of course Little Bit thought it best to remove the dust jacket as he does with all of his big boy books.
Little Bit is an on the go sort of fella. I sat on the floor and as he cruised past I pointed out the interesting artwork. Little Bit actually came to a stop and looked at the art in Marianne's book. For Little Bit to actually stop and consider something means a whole lot around here. The art work is very appealing to young children and the wonderful words brought a lump to Momma's throat while I was reading it.
We have started a new bedtime routine since ditching the ninny two days ago, can I get an AMEN?!? We have moved over to reading several books and then a Psalm from the Bible. Tonight Papa got to read "I Believe In You" book for the first time. It was so wonderful to hear my husband tell our precious gift from God that he believed in him.
If you have little ones in your home or who come to see you I highly recommend "I Believe In You" by Marianne Richmond. You will not be disappointed in the touching story or the colorful art. Happy reading!
Thank you so much for such a great review. Little Bit is so lucky to have parents as sweet as you and your Hubs.
