Love Never Gives Up--

This review is from: The Flyaway Kite (Hardcover)

This is a gem of a book. It is a beautifully told, gentle story that gives children a clear picture of God's love for them and the lengths to which He will go in pursuing them. My just-turned-5yo daughter easily understood the metaphor and how God's hand on our kite strings is necessary so that we can fly and soar instead of crashing to the ground. I highly recommend this book.
