Unique illustrations and very colorful. Not the most unique storyline. References the song from CAIN.

I was so excited to read this book based on one of our favorite songs! Although the art didn't grab me right off the bat, I can see how it fits the vibe. Loved the way it went through how things can go wrong in different ways and each character still sings about how they are blessed. What a good reminder for kids!

I love this song from Cain but this book just didn't' work for me. It was hard to find a rhythm in reading it. And the story didn't flow as well as I wanted. The illustrations were amazing though and so unique in the world of picture books right now.

Maja Andersen’s 1970s-inspired illustrations are the best part of this Christian picture book, a companion to author CAIN’s song “I’m So Blessed.” If you’re a fan of CAIN’s Gospel sound (I had never heard of him), this is a perfect picture book for your kids. If not, this picture book contains the lyrics over and over of “this powerful tune” (CAIN’s words, not mine) and three uninspired tales of what appeared to be a bad day turning fun. There are plenty of better Christian picture books out there; get those.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, B&H Publishing and B&H Kids in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy of I’m So Blessed by Cain, in exchange for an honest review.

When I saw this arc for preview I had to request it because it’s a book version of my kids favorite song. It’s so catchy and has a very positive message. The book takes the song and gives a few stories about how we can’t let our circumstances rule our day, we have the ability to turn them around. We loved singing along with the book every couple pages. It was a super cute interactive book - now the song will be stuck in our heads all day!

🎶 “I’m so blessed I’m so blessed got this heartbeat in my chest, No it doesn’t matter about the rest- as long as I’ve got you Lord, I’m so blessed.”

This is one of the most positive, uplifting children’s books I have ever read, teaching kids (and adults too) that no matter if it’s a good day or a bad day, God has still blessed them with so much. Colorful illustrations perfectly enhance this message. The Cain siblings have given us such a great song, made even better with this stunning book. Make sure you get a copy!
I’m so blessed, I’m so blessed,
Got this heartbeat in my chest.
No, it doesn’t matter about the rest.
If I got you, Lord, I’m so blessed!

I absolutely LOVE this book. First of all the graphics are so vibrant, colorful and fun, very pleasing to the eye-Especially for young children. The story itself is uplifting and relatable. It shows that sometimes it is not "the best day", but it can be turned into one very quickly by changing ones mindset. I believe this book shares an important lesson for children as well as adults. I highly recommend "I'm So Blessed" for anyone with young children, but it's great for adults who love CAIN as well.
