When adults "count their blessings," they usually count those things that are beyond a child's understanding. This book helps children learn that everything is a blessing, especially ordinary things like puddles, hugs, and snuggly toys. This is an early lesson in gratitude, optimism, and the abundance of life's riches that are hidden in the everyday. Both comfortable and familiar, the rhymed text and the photos include the elderly and children of both genders (a reminder for those kids who doubt that siblings are a blessing). The blessings are numbered from one to ten, helping the text work as a counting book as well. For all Christian denominations, children ages 0 to 5. The heart of the Walking with God Board Books is the Gospel message of love. The books also affirm family love and essential values, using a fun format that will charm both adults and children. In addition, the books help adults answer the perplexing "big" questions of life that little kids ask so often. With black-and-white photos by an award-winning photographer and a team-up of two of Paulist's favorite creators of children's books, the series is a can't-go-wrong choice for parents and grandparents, care givers and gift givers, Christian day-cares and preschools, parochial and Sunday schools, home schools, and pediatricians' offices. † Splendid photography and just the right text to draw little children to God. -- Susan Alexander Yates, author of And Then I Had Kids, Encouragement for Mothers of Young Children and other books The words combined with Heidi's pictures bring the recognition of God's involvement into even the littlest things in life. -- Matt Anderson These are definitely great books for read-aloud times with small children. -- The Provident Book Finder These charming books demonstrate God's handiwork and reveal His character and His tender love for us. -- Matt Anderson Heidi Bratton is the author/photographer of Get Two-Gether, as well as the four original Walking with God books.
