God Believes in You

Summary: A Must-Have For Your Library
Review: At first, I thought this was just another overly-sweet rhyming Pollyana-ish sort of picture book. I was wrong! The repetition of the title line makes for a powerful message, but the events in Buddy's day are what holds the reader's attention. It is a gently potent reminder for all ages, and the artwork is gorgeous.

Summary: A children's picturebook with an abiding message of faith
Review: God Believes in You is a children's Christian picturebook with an abiding message of faith and love. Following the adventures of a bull mastiff named Buddy, who must cope with a day at obedience school, the veterinarian, an unfriendly encounter with fire department dalmatians, and more, God Believes in You closes with the profound message that even though life can be challenging, God is always there for Us. Slightly stringy and whimsically enjoyable color illustrations bring the heartwarming tale and its simple message to vibrant life.

Summary: when bad days never end!
Review: The author's beloved bullmastiff, Buddy, is having a bad day. Left alone to guard the house, he is taunted by the neighborhood cats, who know he can't touch them. Will this day ever end?

Buddy's day is a metaphor for the doubts & anxieties all children face, especially from their peers. GOD BELIEVES IN YOU is a soothing reminder for child & adult alike, that God will always be there, if you give Him a chance.

Rebeccasreads highly recommends GOD BELIEVES IN YOU which is charmingly written in verses, & once again Holly Bea has teamed up with the superb illustrator Kim Howard, who obviously adores Buddy too.
