My Thoughts

This is a beautiful book that goes through the reason for Advent in a very child friendly version. It is written in rhyming form so it is very catchy to listen to and read. It starts out in Genesis and does an overview of the Bible showing the major themes and promises that God has made for us. I love how easy it is for children to understand and bring forth conversations about the theme is going through on that particular day. I also enjoy the Appendix where there is a Bible Verse and questions to encourage more conversation. The illustrations are geared more towards older children and were done very well.

This book will definitely be part of our Christmas tradition in years to come and I can't wait to start it with my family this week. If you are looking for a good advent book to share with your children this is the one!

About the Author

Maggie Philpot wrote her first children’s story when she was in middle school (a story about an egg named Eggbert) and she has been dreaming up stories ever since. She lives in Fort Worth with her spectacular husband (whom she calls Husband), her two precocious children, and a rather ridiculous dog, Tucker. She is passionate about anything and anyone who attempts to make beauty, order, and meaning in this crazy world. The simple act of writing is one way to do just that.
