This review is from: Peekaboo, Pearly Moon (Hardcover)
Peekaboo, Pearly Moon by author Karen DeVries and illustrator Stan Myers is a special story about a child experiences the loss of a beloved grandmother. This high quality hardcover book is 32 pages long and was published in November 2003.In touching fashion, Peekaboo Pearly Moon tells the story of a young girl and her grandmother. Grandma shares a special song, teaching her grandaughter to play "Peekaboo" with the moon. The book focuses on the message that God's love is always present for each of us, even when we face pain or difficulties. One of the highlights of this book is the beautiful artwork by watercolorist Stan Myers. In addition, Peekaboo Pearly Moon features a guide for parents and families who may be dealing with the loss of a loved one. Appropriate Bible verse references are provided for additional reading and support. Families will enjoy this book and the tender message it reinforces..."God's love is always peeking at me. It's so big I can't see it all."
