In “The Gift That I Can Give,”
author Kathie Lee Gifford takes children on a hunt for the gift that they have
to give. Perhaps the child’s gift is to share or cheer or dance or sing—whatever
it is, it must have something to do with being kind. At the end, the gift is
revealed: the gift is God’s love, and He will help children to give it away.
This book is about being a unique, beautiful
child of God with a purpose: to be kind and spread love. The story is simple,
and the rhymes make it catchy and a sure-to-be favorite among children.
The words are big, the pictures are
big—and reminiscent of New York City. Illustrator Julia Seal has drawn vibrant
illustrations that will appeal to little ones.
The book is geared toward girls, but
could be enjoyed by boys too. I wouldn’t recommend giving this book as a gift
to boys, though. The girl on the cover, accompanied by glittery butterflies,
makes it quite feminine.
This book has a simple, important
message, and God and His purpose for us and little ones touches each page. The
questions the book poses (all asked by a little girl) leave lots of room for
discussion among parents and kids.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
