Eight of the spreads feature an attribute addressed to a child, such as "Sweet child, you are free" with the word or words following the phrase "you are" appearing in larger font. Then, an associated Bible verse that expresses the same sentiment appears in a much smaller font.
Each spread is illustrated with an adult animal and at least one child animal. The animals are very cute with a pleasant illustration style. The background is lightly patterned, but ultimately not distracting. The effect is a very simple spread with only the animals and the words to focus on.
The final spread is "Child of God, you are so loved" and contains seven verses in support of the statement, unlike the others that only have one.
The first spread is title page information, with a letter to parents that describes the power of the Word of God, including quoting scripture.
It seems like this is a book that can grow with children, by beginning with only reading the "you are" statements and then adding in the Bible verses as the child is ready to listen for a longer amount of time. It's a nice book with a good message, but it doesn't seem like it would be a favorite since there is no story line or consistent characters.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but was not required to post a positive review.
