In the "God Made Me" series from New Growth Press Publishers
The author of this book is a pediatrician and a father to four children, so he writes from his own experience. I liked how scripture is included. It's definitely a new book as it includes wearing a mask so that others stay well. It has a lot of words on the pages and is a long story for young children, the publisher doesn't list what ages this book is for. I'd say probably 5-8-year-olds. It's interesting to me that in this book the father takes his son to his pediatrician and the mother goes to work. Not a problem, just an observation. The son calls his father "Papa" which often is a Hispanic name for father, I know a few families that the children call their dad's Papa. I think that many parents will appreciate this book to help encourage a child about a doctor's visit, about trusting in the Lord and even wearing masks. It's a lot to tackle in one book, but it represents the world we are living in. There is a note to parents at the start of the book and some tips to use with your children at the end of the book, so it adds in content about illness and how to talk with your children, including that illness is a result of sin and the fall of man. Not all will appreciate this perspective, but as a book from a Christian publisher, I'm thankful it tackles this topic for parents, who then can choose how and when to teach it to their children.
Thankful to partner with New Growth Press and review a pdf of the book.
