Customer Reviews

Not as advertised buyer beware!

ZERO stars!! Completely severely damaged book ! Pages are ripped up and cannot even read three of them because the pages stuck together and ripped the words right off! Absolutely disgusted ! Now I’ve got to spend even more money and try to find this at a decent price … inflation being as it is I’ve tried to find better deals than 14.00 for a 6.00 book!

Awesome read for kids bedtime

I loved this book

A must for every child's library

We love this book. The final pages get me teary-eyed every time. The illustrations are beautiful. I love that the story line can be applied to many different family dynamics whether a traditional nuclear family, adoption, step-parent, single parent, grandparent, etc.

Helps us express our deep love for our children

This book is so so sweet. If you have a ton of love for your child, but struggle to find the right words to express it, then buy this book! Just as God wants us to know how special we are, that he’s on our side and how much he loves us, we want our children to know these things as well. The book touches on all of those points and more. The author really allows us to express our true love for our little ones in such a simple yet touching way. Wonderful!

If my child could only have one book, this would be it

Max Lucado brings his writing talents to a children's book! In a soothing way, this book will tell your child how special he/she is as he grows up, and how his parents and God will always love him. My favorite line is "I am on your side." How many of us think to tell our children that we are on their side and that our goal is to help them? This book is appropriate for adopted as well as biological children, and single parents whether male or female. If every child had this book read to them daily, the world would be a much better place in which to live. My daughter loves it, and I love reading it to her. In the future, it will be included in every shower/baby gift. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this book.

IF YOU ARE A PARENT; BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILD!

I took one look at this book tears welled up and knew it was a keeper; I bought it on the spot. It says what I think every parent feels about their "little angel sent from Heaven" (as my Mom always called me.) The story begins by telling the child "long, long ago God made a decision...a very important decision...one that I'm really glad He made. He made the decision to make you."The story truly expresses what we as parents all want our children to know: they are very special, unique and have our hearts wrapped around their fingers since birth and this will never change. "...As you grow and change, some things will stay the same. I'll always love you. I'll always hug you. I'll always be on your side. And I want you to know that... just in case you ever wonder."The ending is perfect; it talks about heaven. At the beginning and end, there are a few blank pages that I took advantage of and wrote some personal comments in my only daughter, Kaitlyn's copy. I know she will cherish this book forever and always know how much her Mom loves her. Isn't that what you want for your children? We are not immortal; leave something behind for your child to treasure. This book is a great way to do it.

A Very touching book

I cannot say enough about this book. I found it in the store today and had to sit on the floor and read it to my child then and there. It brought tears to my eyes. In todays world, children need to hear how special they are on a consistent basis. They also need to hear about Gods love for them. This book is the best childrens book I have ever read.

Beautiful

I recieved this book at a baby shower for my second child. It was actually given to my 3 year old daughter by my grandmother who did not want her to feel left out of all of the excitement. When I finally sat down and read the book to her, I cried so hard that I had to stop several times. It is a beautiful story of the love only a parent can have for a child. I cherish this gift and so does my daughter.

I am a birth mom; I gave this book to the adopting parents.

My 6 year old checked this book out at school, and she and I read it over and over together. It's a wonderful, warm gift to a child, to hear again and again how special she is, how much she is loved, and regardless of the cirucumstance of her arrival, that she is a gift from God to them... which is why I also gave it to the parents who adopted a baby I chose to give life to.
