Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Does your little one have a special nickname that’s used just for them? In God’s Name for Me, author Talia Messina gathers diverse children to share their funny and silly nicknames—names that they were given by loved ones. But they are reminded that there is a name, the very best name, from God who has given it out of his perfect love.
Tthis charming kids’ picture book has lift-the-flap surprises to keep young children engaged and delighted and a mirror surprise in the back! Discover God’s super special name for you, given freely for being exactly who he made you to be. This name can’t be earned—it’s part of your identity, so you can’t lose it! It reminds you that being God’s child has nothing to do with personality, likability, outward appearance, energy, size, the love given, or actions taken towards others.
My Review:
God's Name for Me is a Christian board book for young children. It shows boys and girls of different ethnic backgrounds telling about a nickname a family member gave to them and why they got their nickname. All are sweet reasons, and the illustrations show the family enjoying doing things together related to the nickname. The book ends with God's name for us and "It's all about whose you are and not what you can do." His name for us? "God calls you Precious Child 'cause his love for you is strong." The illustrations were in a realistic style and did a good job of supporting and expanding upon the text. Overall, I'd recommend this delightful board book.
If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
