5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU ARE A PARENT; BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOUR CHILD!, June 18, 2000

This review is from: Just In Case You Ever Wonder (Hardcover)

I took one look at this book tears welled up and knew it was a keeper; I bought it on the spot. It says what I think every parent feels about their "little angel sent from Heaven" (as my Mom always called me.)

The story begins by telling the child "long, long ago God made a decision...a very important decision...one that I'm really glad He made. He made the decision to make you."

The story truly expresses what we as parents all want our children to know: they are very special, unique and have our hearts wrapped around their fingers since birth and this will never change.

"...As you grow and change, some things will stay the same. I'll always love you. I'll always hug you. I'll always be on your side. And I want you to know that... just in case you ever wonder."

The ending is perfect; it talks about heaven. At the beginning and end, there are a few blank pages that I took advantage of and wrote some personal comments in my only daughter, Kaitlyn's copy. I know she will cherish this book forever and always know how much her Mom loves her. Isn't that what you want for your children? We are not immortal; leave something behind for your child to treasure. This book is a great way to do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am a birth mom; I gave this book to the adopting parents., December 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Just In Case You Ever Wonder (Hardcover)

My 6 year old checked this book out at school, and she and I read it over and over together. It's a wonderful, warm gift to a child, to hear again and again how special she is, how much she is loved, and regardless of the cirucumstance of her arrival, that she is a gift from God to them... which is why I also gave it to the parents who adopted a baby I chose to give life to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very touching book, March 13, 2000

This review is from: Just in Case You Ever Wonder (Hardcover)

I cannot say enough about this book. I found it in the store today and had to sit on the floor and read it to my child then and there. It brought tears to my eyes. In todays world, children need to hear how special they are on a consistent basis. They also need to hear about Gods love for them. This book is the best childrens book I have ever read.
