5.0 out of 5 stars An uplifting parable of human virtues to strive for, August 13, 2004

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I'd Be Your Princess (Hardcover)

Wonderfully written by Kathryn O'Brien and nicely illustrated by Michael Garland, I'd Be Your Princess: A Royal Tale Of Godly Character is a picturebook for Christian children. It tells of the bond between father and daughter. The daughter imagines what it would be like to be royalty, while the father encourages positive traits and good character. Each two-page spread also features an appropriate quote from Biblical scripture such as "Show proper respect to everyone" (1 Peter 2:17) or "Be kind and compassionate to one another." (Ephesians 4:32). An uplifting parable of human virtues to strive for, that combines religious values with positive and enriching principles to guide one's life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic message of Character!, March 18, 2005

This review is from: I'd Be Your Princess (Hardcover)

This discovery was a gold-mine! I work as a bookseller and when I found this original title illustrated by the wonderful Michael Garland, I knew it was a winner. I love the message of the story which will inspire "princesses" of all ages to be royal in their character! The girl's father responds to her with solid encouragement about her inner beauty throughout the book. I think many people are looking for books like this that are well done, but also are laden with the deep treasure only scripture can give. I have sold MANY copies of this book!

The illustrations by Michael Garland are superb. Kathryn O'Brien's enchanting adventure story, illustrating biblical principles about godly character, is thoroughly heartwarming. The wonderful cadence of this book makes it a perfect read-aloud book for every Christian father and young daughter. My wife loves reading it to our youngest daughter, as well. Highly recommended!
