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.

ReplyDeleteI like how the video talks about how rules are not to keep you from having fun but to offer protection. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI learned that today more than 506 children are able to receive an education and care, some of them for the very first time!
ReplyDeletekristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
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.

ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeleteWelcome the Children has establish a loving and safe life for children in underprivileged areas by feeding, housing, educating, loving, and, most importantly, sharing the love of God with them.
ReplyDeleteI like this ministry and hope to support it.
