Don’t Close Your Eyes by Bob Hostetler

I know I wrote it, but I still read it often, and smile, laugh, and tear up as I do.

Seeds and Trees by Brandon Walden

Nicely illustrated book but uneven, sometimes-rhyming, ultimately hazy application of a great lesson: the power of positive and negative words.

I Love You to the Stars by Crystal Bowman and Douglas Groothuis (Robert Sauber, illustrator)

A charming story with an inspiring perspective on an all-too-common experience children and families face. It will minister to many.

The Napping House by Audrey Wood, Don Wood

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this to my grandkids, who enjoyed the repetition and anticipating each additional “napper.” Delightful illustrations, too.
