Children today are confused. Parents aren't taking the time to build a true foundation in Christ. I think it's a true calling to write books about God and to take the time to teach children step by step on how to pray to God. I was so touched by my grandchild when he memorized the first Milo book, Milo with a Halo. I just had to add this to his collection.

As author of the highly acclaimed children's book, "ZOLLIE GOES WEST," I totally appreciate and respect Lisa's sense of humor and her obvious commitment and love for children.
Milo Moments is entertaining for children as well as adults as it taps into our innocence and encourages all of us to look at everyday inconvenience or minor problems, with a sense of humor.
Much like Milo With A Halo, Milo Moments makes for a great addition to any/all household libraries.

GARY CONSILIO

Milo Moments is a Christian picturebook featuring the return of the beloved innocent white bear with a halo, Milo. Instead of a narrative story, each page of Milo Moments features a different one-sentence though from Milo, with an accompanying color illustration, such as "When God calls, He never gives you time to pack", "I am taking a picture of love so it lasts longer", and "God loves the world so much, He gave us YOU!" A gentle, read-aloud book that reinforces faith, love, and hope, written in the author's sincere belief that anyone can talk to God anywhere, anytime, about anything. Also highly recommended is the author's previous picturebook, "Milo With A Halo".

Lisa Umina and her buddy Milo are on a mission - to share with children around the world the good news that they will always have a best friend in God. With the recent publication of her second book, Milo Moments (Halo Publishing, May 2005, 32 pages), Umina encourages readers of all ages to view God in the simple moments that fill each of our days.

Young readers will find themselves drawn to Umina's loveable character Milo, and his fresh way of seeing everyday situations. With bold illustrations and adorable text, the book has a way of reaching both young children in its simplicity and their adult reading buddies in its insightfulness.

A former journalist and businesswoman, Lisa Umina recognized her calling to serve in the year 2000. Since then she has gone on to pursue her mission of teaching children about the important relationship she has with her best friend - God. With her self proclaimed motto, "When God calls you, He never gives you time to pack," Umina has traveled far and wide with her buddy Milo, reaching children's audiences that they too can have a personal relationship with God. With Milo Moments, Umina has succeeded in finding yet another vehicle for sharing her excitement about her faith.

Lisa Umina's latest book, Milo Moments, offers simplicity, charm, and grace to readers old and young alike. She cuts to the core of ordinary moments we've all experienced and helps us see God in them. I can't wait to read her next book.
