My Review:
I knew I was going to love this book because I knew it was taken from Jeremiah 29:11. This verse is a powerful verse that gets people motivated to go and do! I really enjoyed how the words popped out of the story and zig zagged all around just like we sometimes can zig zag through life. That was one of the things my kids and I discussed through this story, making sure we were following the path God has created for us. He has super duper plans for each of us and this book helps parents encourage and discuss this with their children. I enjoy this book as a hardcover and it retails on Zondervan for $16.99. The message is great the pictures are fun and the rhyming makes it fun for parents to engage their kids. I have plans to also read this to our kids in kids church as I always want them to feel empowered and I feel this book does a good job of encouraging excitement.
