Drawing God review

I love the idea of this book and I look forward to reading it with my kids and with our Sunday school class. I wanted to make sure to mention it so people can get a copy of it before International Drawing God Day, November 7th. What a remarkable idea! I can't wait to see what my kids come up with when they participate.
Our main character is endearing, she reminds me a little of Ladybug Girl! After being inspired by a museum visit she decides to try to draw God. This book is realistic, charming, and inspirational. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it. I will report back with our drawings and observations.

The church is a hospital for sinners. How we deal with our own mistakes, shortcomi

The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner

This was the best book I have read in the past six months! I am a total nerd for anything Jane Austen and Jane Austen themed fiction is one of my favorite sub-genres. Each month I preview about a hundred advance reader copies. I usually pick one or two to read and review. The only topic I ALWAYS will review are Jane Austen inspired. Usually they are at least diverting (word chosen intentionally). This was all around great. I liked the characters. I was amused by their banter about all things Jane. I found the story believable and interesting and just plain fun.

School's First Day of School

I don't think I will ever stop getting the back to school jitters. This anthropomorphized school story is sweet in dealing with those feelings. It would make a great book for parents to use when talking about their feelings with their children but I could also see a writing activity for elementary age students to think about ways our school might be nervous.
