My thoughts:
  On pages awash with soft pastels, a beautiful mix of mother-daughter duets grace the pages of this lovely book as it explodes with exuberance and truth that God sees our worth and it never wavers. Not intended to teach a selfish sense of importance but to instill a root base of one's individual importance to God in His heart and in His mind, the steadfastness of God's faithfulness is expressed in ingenious terms throughout the book.

A bit wordy, but filled with goodness, the text brings deep thinking truth to the heart of the young girl. Hopefully, instilling this sense of value in her heart will help shield her from those who might try to discredit and remove her sense of value as she travels life's roadway.

A book that can, with grace, instill a sense of being a valued individual into the heart of a sweet girl.

About the book: Snuggle up with a young girl you love and share this beautifully illustrated picture book woven with messages on true beauty, identity, and God's unending love. As a primer for first conversations about body image, this book will instill deep truths while weaving in fun facts about nature and God’s creation. Bestselling children's book author, Laura Wifler, wants girls to know . . .

The same God who made both the otter and pearl,
Is the God who made you––yes you, my sweet girl.
You’re made in His image; He knit you together.
Your worth never wavers––not now, and not ever.

Research shows that attitudes about body image and self-esteem begin forming in children between the ages of three and five and only become more widespread and problematic as they grow.  Many people's answer to this problem is to “look within,” “trust your heart” or “try harder” to muster up your own value and worth. 

Your Worth Never Wavers sends a better message: true worth and beauty is found by gaining a higher view not of ourselves but of God, the creator of everything.

Journey with a diverse group of mothers and daughters as they explore the wonders of creation from colossal canyons to boisterous beehives. Each illustration celebrates God's handiwork from nature to his design of people, showing women and girls with different skin tones, body shapes, hair types, and abilities. On each page, a child learns fun facts about creation and that the same God who made tigers, snowflakes, sunsets, and stars, is the God who fearfully and wonderfully created each person perfectly in his image.

This book is a catalyst for conversation between young readers and their loved ones about body image, identity, and God's unending love. By teaching girls the source of their worth and value, they’ll have foundational truths to lean on when doubts arrive, reminding them that they are beloved by God and declared beautiful. His love is all around them; all they must do is look.

My thoughts:  Sally Lloyd Jones does such a good job presenting to children the stories from throughout the Bible. In The Jesus Storybook Bible she retells the well known stories from the Bible and how Jesus is in - even though in shadow - each of them. Sized for young hands, this thick book has pictures to interest and understandable text that can be read to the young child. As the child grows and learns to read, he or she will begin to read these simply retold stories for themselves.

Originally published in 2007, it's many editions attest to the dependability and trustworthiness of the storybook. This is a storybook and not intended to replace a Bible. There is no chapter/verse text. This is a retelling of the stories that are in the Biblical text. (Note: For reference the Book/Chapter/Verse are provided.)

Perfect as a gift for any occasion and truly memorable for the Christmas season.
