Trying to read down books on my Kindle. I decided I would start with several of the picture books I have purchased. Sit back and enjoy them.
Tree Full of Wonder by Anna Smithers
I really loved this book. I grew up on a farm and outside my bedroom window was a giant maple tree. I loved the shade it provided, the colors that came in the fall. This book shows the connections we have with trees and all the things we need them for. The pictures are beautiful. The end of the book has a section with pictures of different types of trees and asks you to find them in the book. Then there is a page that tells what we use trees for.
Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner
This is a wonderful picture books that takes the reader on a journey to a pond. While a mother and her young son row across the top of the pond, the young boy learns about animals and insects that live both above and below the water. The reader learns the connections both have to the other. There is an author’s note at the back that tells more about these systems. There is also a page that tells the reader about four animals listed in the book.
Unspoken: Communicating Beyond Words by Cara Cusack
This book is beautiful in illustrations and in the message it conveys. We read the stories of children who do not speak verbally. Each one of them speak in their own manner, whether it is through music, dance, artwork. They are able to communicate with the world in such a beautiful manner, showing us that we are all different and we can all communicate given what we have.
Inside the Pencil Box by Avni Saxena
I really loved this story. It is the story of how the pencil got an eraser on its end. ; This author's imagination is wonderful. She created a pencil box that had two kingdoms living in it. One was the kingdom of pencils the other was the kingdom of erasers. Each thought the other was better. It wasn't until they set out to prove it and ruined Emma's homework that they realized they were both wrong. The solution to the problem was an imaginative genius. I absolutely loved this book. I would definitely read more by this author.
Overcomers by Joy Ohagwu
What a wonderful book of faith. When Claudia is approached by a man who tells her if she is a woman he will kill her, she takes off running. Running away isn't enough. She prays for God to protect and hide her. She then races to warn everyone she sees. As she nears home she sees her sister running toward danger. Once she catches up to her sister she sees how much faith her younger sister has. They both pray for the safety of their friends and family members while danger passes them by. This is a wonderful book complete with scripture that tells us why we should not be afraid. I will recommend this to everyone I see as well as check out any other books by this author.
