2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother! January 11, 2007

By K. Cressey

Format:Hardcover

I was disappointed with the content. The pictures are delightful, and for that reason only, it got 2 stars. I found the story line thin, when in fact, the truth that we are ALL children of the King is really quite profound. Gigi is completely absorbed with herself - not a worthy role model. This is not because we don't suffer the same, but because she does not move from that position and it is not addressed or reinforced by anyone else in her life. Her father abdicates from the discussion, her mother gives her a one liner and her friend she considers her "subject". I thought Gigi was quite horrid!

5.0 out of 5 stars Princesses of All Ages! September 21, 2005

By TJ Delgado

Format:Hardcover

I first read Gigi to one my grand daughters, all 4 of them are princesses. The story and its content were just precious! I even related to many parts of the story myself...those who know the Lord as the King of Kings can smile with pure joy, knowing they are a true princess of the richest King of all.

The illustrations by Meredith Johnson were priceless! Author Sheila Walsh is a brilliant, tender and passionate woman who loves the Lord and delights princesses all over the world through Women of Faith, her CD's and her books. Thank You Sheila

The book was perfect when Twin Oaks Church in San Jose, CA hosted a Mother-Daughter event entitled "All of God's Princesses"... Granny "O" (Granny Ora Oaks) came and read the story to all. And it was loved by all princesses, young & old, big & little, all shapes and sizes! Several Gigi books became the door prizes!

I'll encourage anyone to read this sweet little book of reality on every level... or incorporate it into a Princess Event in your sphere of influence. It is like sipping a cup of Chamomile Tea with an endless smile on your face!

2.0 out of 5 stars Missed the Mark May 12, 2010

By Bethany L. Birch

Format:Hardcover

I have to agree with some of the other negative reviews of this book. It is cute and had potential, but the character is very self focused and I feel like the emphasis on her being a "princess" takes presidents over the much more powerful message of God being King. I think it is sadly reflective of our Christian culture being more and more focused on US as the worshipers over God the one we are suppose to be turning our eyes to. I feel like it has confused my daughter since she frequently talks about being a REAL princess because she knows God. But, I feel like in her mind she is confusing this with being dressed in a dress up dress and living in a pink castle. It just isn't how I want her to understand her relationship with God, because ultimately, that is putting the focus on HER being glorified, not really a respect for God's place in her life.
