"Baby Come Home" by Elizabeth Kail Arnita (Review & giveaway)

Review: This children's picture book is an allegorical story of a little bird that wants to get out of his cage and scale over the garden wall to the big world outside.  The story is about the protection Sam (the human) offers the birds in the garden and especially "Baby."

A story of protection from the evils and dangers that lurk in the outside world.  We can easily see that the imagery is that of a child leaving the confines, rules, and protection of home.  But the bigger picture is that of the child of God straying from the protection of God or the shelter a Christian has in the fellowship of believers.

The story, though brought down to children's level, is a bit heavy for a child's comprehension; but I do  believe a "seed" can be planted via the reading of this story that a child can learn that he or she must not stray from his place of protection.  The lesson can also be learned that someone will care enough to come pick up the pieces of our brokenness and restore us.

  8. I learned it's never to early to start teaching your kids about God, and rules. I started early with my boys, now ages 19, 16, and 13. This book will be perfect for them when they become parents. It looks like a great book. I also have an 8 month old nephew and this would be perfect for him. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  12. That is was inspired by a true story. I like that the story gives kids a different perspective on rules and why to obey them too.

  19. As I was watching this video, I at first thought that it was a parallel to the theory that even though the grass looks greener on the other side, it really is not. I came to understand that it is more of a love story between God and human. One saying that even though we are a sinful human, our God will still love us as long as we trust him.
