I am delighted that this author of Sensible Shoes has written a children's book! I've long loved this authors writing and adore this book too! I think this is a book adults as well as children will benefit from as they maybe read this to their littles. Sharon beautifully describes how its ok to be honest with God about all our feelings. As a matter of fact it shows we trust him and can be completely honest with him! The illustrations in this book are some of the best I've seen! I definitely loved and recommend this book for all ages!

This book is the sweetest! I love the illustrations. I also love Wren and Gran and how they talk about their feelings and paint their prayers. Beautiful story!

This book was a nice reminder for children that it is valid to feel many different feelings, especially when things don't go as we expect. The incorporation of faith is subtle but present in a nice way. The illustrations without people in them are absolutely beautiful, but the way Wren was drawn was a bit distracting, as her look changed throughout the book.

This is a lovely little book. It seems most appropriate for kids who are starting school. The combination of illustrations, and the message about coming to God with all of your honest feelings, had me tearing up. Maybe not everything would make theological sense to an adult (e.g., God will "sign His name when He's done" with His art), but it seems like a good comprehension level for a child, and the artwork did a good job portraying what characters thought and felt. This book helps children address topics from embarrassment or feeling left out at school, to the death of a family's animal, in a way that is sensitive and thoughtful.

I received a digital review copy for free from NetGalley. This review contains my honest opinions and is posted voluntarily. I will also share this review on Goodreads and Amazon closer to the book's publication date.
