About the book:
This first book in a delightful new series offers a comforting message for young readers-God loves you very much and is always watching over you!
What little girl wouldn't love her very own guardian angel? Parents and children alike will be won over by this humorous tale of Gabby, a guardian angel in training who has much to learn about taking care of God's little ones. Her new assignment is to protect a young girl named Sophie, but Gabby soon realizes that watching after Sophie is a bigger challenge than she had expected! After a close call while riding her pony, Sophie learns what the Bible says about guardian angels: "He will put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go" (Psalm 91:11 ICB).
My thoughts:
This is a sweet, short story for a young child. Being that the angel and the child she watches over are both female, I think little girls will especially enjoy it. I especially like how well matched Gabby is with Sophie. They both seem to be risk takers that are learning how to handle their little bodies, resulting in a bit of clumsiness for each of them. The theology is light, yet powerful for a child. The scriptures are only quoted once in the book, and it is taken from the The International Children's Bible. While this is not the version we personally use, it is worded in a way that children will understand it. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and full of color. I recommend this for any Christian child, particularly girls, aged 4-9 years old.

I felt God's love for me and just me when I prayed for an answer to move/not move and He opened every door and made my path undeniably clear. And, gave me a raise I couldn't believe.

I felt God's love for me in providing a way for me to stay at home with my children and be able to afford to do that in today's economy.
