About the book:

A great combination of bedtime theme, encouraging and age-appropriate devotions, and the bestselling God’s Little Princess® brand, all wrapped up in a creative, sparkly cover is, sure to be a hit.

Bedtime means special moments to share between a parent and daughter, and God’s Little Princess Bedtime Devotional will help settle her heart and mind as she heads to bed. Bestselling author Sheila Walsh offers 106 daily devotions: each with a scripture, a short thought, a rhyming prayer, and a “Good Night Giggles and Grace” activity that will send every little princess off to bed full of smiles, feeling loved and secure.

Take A Peek Inside The Book!

My thoughts:

If your little princess loves the Gigi books from Sheila Walsh she is going to be delighted to spend a little time each night curled up with you reading a devotion that expounds on the principles taught in those books. The God's Little Princess Bedtime Devotional is designed for your four to seven year old little girl. 

The book includes 106 daily devotions that start out with a scripture reading and then a devotional thought that pertains to the topic covered in the scripture. After the devotion there is a section called Good-Night Giggles and Grace that suggests a fun activity to help apply what has just been taught. The nice part about this section is that the activities are calming and quiet so your little one won't get all wound up right before bed! The daily section ends with a simple prayer.

I enjoyed sharing several days of this with one of my sweet little girls. It is the perfect activity to round out your day. What a blessing to read scripture together with your little one and then help them retain it by participating in a relevant activity. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great way to introduce their little girl to the daily habit of devotions.

Gabby’s Stick-to-It Day: A Story About Never Giving Up

Sheila Walsh, Author
Natasha Kuricheva, Illustrator
God’s Little Princess Series, Book 2
Buy on Thomas Nelson

 

About the book:

Based on Galatians 6:9, this second title in Gabby’s series follows little Sophie on her quest to do kind things for her family. But each of Sophie’s good intentions results in a great, big mess-and a busy guardian angel as Gabby tries to keep the little girl from harm. Sophie quickly gets frustrated amidst each task and refuses to continue. Little ones will learn an important lesson on perseverance when Gabby whispers words from Galatians 6:9 into Sophie’s ear: “Let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Young hearts will also be reminded of God’s continual protection over them in the form of angels, just as Gabby protects and encourages Sophie.

My thoughts:

I fell in love with Gabby in the first book of this series. I was delighted to read this second installment to some very precious little girls in my life. The storyline continually reinforces how important it is to continue to do what is good and right no matter how hard it is or how tired we become.

Sheila Walsh has done a wonderful job of writing this in a manner that is easily understood by little girls. The language is at a level that 3 to 5 year olds can understand, but it is also a delight for the adult to read aloud as well.

Kuddos should also go to Natasha Kuricheva for her beautiful illustrations. I think we spent as much time discussing what was in the pictures as we did on the story itself. The story and the illustrations really do complement each other in this series.

This would be a great addition to any little girl’s library!

My Take: I would love to buy this book for every tween girl. I love how the chapters have activities, quizzes, and crafts that go along with biblical principles. I would have loved this as a tween. It reminds me of the American Girl stuff with a Christian spin. I feel like this book would be great for starting conversations and activities with your tween daughter without being to awkward. I love the concept of Gigi God's Little Princess and now there is something for tweens! So if you have a daughter this is a must have for your tween!
