Review: Beautiful Illustrations With Simple Phrasing - I bought this book because I wanted to see what all the hype and anti-hype was about. Before I bought the book I read through all the reviews, especially 1 star reviews about how it's "indoctrinating children" with propagandist "trash" so I had to read for myself what Kirk Cameron was trying to "do to children". I found NONE OF THIS in the book and laughed to myself while reading the book and reflecting on the reviews. I absolutely loved stories like this as a child because they possess simple isms a child's imagination can run with and are open to interpretation by the reader. I could see my child self lost for hours in all the little animal details found in each page of this book. The illustrations are exquisite and thought provoking. I'm super glad I purchased this book and that I took a curious gamble on it. I look forward to sharing it with my family and feel confident that the people labeling this book as trash are probably much closer to it than the actual book itself.
Review: Nice story - Let me start off by saying that I’m not a religious person and I’ve never followed Kirk Cameron (I only remember him from some movies in the 80s). So color me surprised when I heard that there were public libraries trying to prevent Kirk Cameron from holding book events where he read this book. I am not a fan of banning books or people from speaking engagements, even if I don’t have the same political beliefs or religious leanings as that person. So I decided to buy the book to see if there was anything bad about it and honestly I didn’t after reading this. The book doesn’t even mention G O D, it says “the one”, so I guess you can interpret that anyway you want too. I found the book to be sweet and positive, about overcoming hardship and dark times, it doesn’t preach to you about spirituality, so I don’t see any issues with this being for a child. I would say this is a great book if you are going through mental health issues as well (so great for any age really). We do live in uncertain times right now, and reading a book about overcoming hardship is really what we need currently. Great read and i would definitely like to purchase more because this is a part of a series.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful story for anyone!
*by A***Y on December 12, 2022*

First of all, I notice the bad reviewers did not purchase the book and haven't read it. Filter the reviews to see only verified purchases reviews. The book has 45 beautiful color pages in it. It is worth the $23. There was zero propaganda. The book is about growing up and as you are cared for, you care for others. Sorrow might come, but you can find joy and recover. We find joy in being kind and spreading love. All things you'll find in most kids books these days. Written beautifully, delivered sweetly. This story had a Bible verse in the epilogue. A verse about being gentle and kind. In the beginning of the book, it references "the One that loves you most" one time, just like that. If you are a Muslim, you'll read your kids Muslim books. If you're an athiest, you'll read them atheist books. If you're a Christian, you're going to read your kid Christian books. We all teach our kids what we believe to be true. This book is by a well-known Christian man. If a verse about being kind is too offensive to someone, this book is the least of their problems. Talking about what you believe to others is not propaganda. It's how we exist. It's how we connect. Not everyone has to agree. Don't read books if they disturb you. I can see the reviewers that gave poor ratings did not read it, and they shouldn't.
