This was a sweet story about a new girl coming to Sunday School who has special needs. The teacher is explaining to the class in a fun rhyming style how God makes each one of us different and unique. Each person also has a different part to play for the church body, with different talents and abilities. She talks about different types of disabilities, seen and unseen and reminds the children to treat each other kindly and that they're just like us. There's a section at the back for parents to go deeper in teaching their child about what the Bible says about disabilities, how Jesus responded to those with disabilities and how to be a friend to someone with a disability. There were fun, colorful illustrations in a nice hardcover. This is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers or caregivers to show children how to treat others and understand them better.
I received this book from New Growth Press. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
Joni and Friends is an
organization that accelerates Christian outreach in the disability
community. Founded in 1979, their mission is to communicate the gospel
and equip Christ-honoring churches worldwide to evangelize and disciple
people affected by disability.
The organization authors numerous books including the new releases The Gospel in Hard Times and The Gospel in Hard Times for Students (study
guides about suffering in which participants are guided to look to
Jesus to understand who God is in the midst of their own suffering and
the suffering of others), God Made Me Unique (a children’s book
helping parents and caregivers teach children that God creates every
person in the image of God), and a series of minibooks providing
personal insight & encouragement for tough circumstances.
