REVIEW: I DREAM FOR YOU Written by Kate Wood Illustrated by Mette Engell

Hello everyone!

I have another review for you today. It's been awhile since I've written a review, and now two so close together! Perhaps this one won't be so controversial. ~smile~


    Today's book is called I Dream For You. It was written by Kate Wood and illustrated by Mette Engell.  It is intended as a read aloud for young kids. I would say maybe 3 to 9. It could be used for younger and older kids as well.  


    It's got a down-to-earth style that I enjoy. It's a celebration of the love, hopes, and dreams that a mother has for her child from womb through adulthood. We all have something tucked in our hearts that we hope for our children. A love for Jesus and a dedication to him is the highest hope many of us have for our children.  


    This book from Zonderkidz illustrates many of the hopes and dreams that moms have for their children. Kate Wood includes a list of scriptures in the back of the books to inspire moms to pray for their children. 


    There are different races and physical abilities represented in the book thanks to Mette Engell's artwork. The hopes and dreams belong to all of the children. All children can pursue their dreams.


    The snowy day play is my favorite illustration. The children play together and find joy. There's a emphasis on inclusion of all types of children and mothers. There's a celebration of questions that children ask. It's a very nice book. It's written from a mother's perspective. As a grammy to one, I'll give this book to my daughter to share with her son when she's ready.

Consider this book for gift giving. It would be a great gift for Easter, a birthday, or just because.

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
