One of the neatest aspects of “I Can
Only Imagine: A Friendship with Jesus Now and Forever” by Bart Millard and
illustrated by Sumiti Collina is that it’s written by the singer of the hit
song!
Geared toward kids ages 3-8, this
book offers lots to think about. Questions arise such as will there be pancakes
in heaven? Forts? Ice cream? Does God have a pet? The author asks the questions
and leaves the answer to the imagination. Lots of opportunities exist for
parents and kids to talk about possibilities of heaven as they read this book
together. The book is full of rhymes which makes it fun for kids learning to
read.
This book is a good length. Often,
story books are too short, but this one keeps going for a meaningful and
worthwhile read. The last page sums up the purpose/tone of the book nicely: “I
can only imagine what my eyes will see when we’re walking together – Jesus and
me. I can only imagine . . .”
The illustrations are span the full
spread on each page and are clear, bold, colorful, happy, and engaging!
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
