You're More Than a Spout by Jill Roman Lord is lovely illustrated and written book that teaches us that we all have a purpose. You're More Than a Sprout tells a story of a bamboo seed and how it takes time sometimes to fulfill and start your purpose. I like how the author says that the waiting for our purpose isn't wasted, but gives us strength for the future. This book has discussion questions in the back and goes more in depth about bamboo trees.. This book would be perfect for a Christian Classroom settings or to use in a Family Devotion. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book! (This review is also on GoodReads.)

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

Bamboo seeds take a while to grow but once they do, you see the growth. That is it how it is with our personal growth in Christ. Nature is a very good indicator of lessons that God uses to teach us about him. The bamboo sprout is one of them.

The bamboo sprout is anxious to know what he is here for. He wonders aimlessly until he finds his purpose. The illustrations and Sprout's story will capture your child's heart to see what is God is doing while we wait.

A special thank you to B&H Kids and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Thanks to B&H for the free book. A book that helps children understand that God has a purpose for them. I enjoyed how the timing was explained to be unique for everyone, but it will work out for good. This story is cute, but it also has depth that continues to guide the children back to the truths found in the Bible.
