Review "How do you take a story that has been told thousands upon thousands of times for thousands of years out of the ancient pages and make it fresh like a rollicking tumble down a green hillside, with cartwheels and songs, and adventures and battles, loneliness and fulfillment, and everlasting hope? To put it another way, how do you take fifteen minutes at bedtime and write the scripture on a child's heart? Davi does exactly that with page after page of vibrant, living pictures and rolling rhymes that toss up the familiar story like a crystal in the sun, and turn it over and around, catching the facets and casting rainbows. Davi moves swiftly with surprise joy, telling the story like a boy would feel it. The reader is captured and cajoled by the familiar longings of a little brother in a world of important people, the big feelings that lead him to sing to the sky, the funny fellowship of the fluffy sheep, the all-important courage that comes and might go, and the sheer delight of being God's. Davi tells us eternal truths, worth ages and eons of exploration, in the pace of the bright, buoyant exuberance that is childish attention. On every page, it tells those of us with childlike faith, that we were loved before we were able, chosen before we could choose, known in our lonely longings, and free. Free to be all God's and only God's, children after His own heart." (McD Reviews)"It'sreally extraordinary. The rhymes can be as delightful as Dr. Seuss, and stillprofound enough to move me as an adult. I think it's powerful. It conveys thestory with excitement and interest, but the themes of insight and understandingjust as effectively. With children's Bible stories, it's usually one or theother. We all love it. We are big fans." (Suzanna M., ColoradoSprings, CO)"This is a thoughtful and whimsical retelling of the early life of David inan enjoyable rhyming cadence perfect for children from 4-9. I find thestory of David & Goliath can often be problematic for children, butSeth's gentle treatment keeps the emphasis on Davi's heart--being onewho trusts in God and who God can trust--with an overarching threadthat God looks at the inside of a person, not their outward appearance. It's a fantastic and relatable message for children. The illustrations arealso wonderful and support the light-hearted, yet profound toneperfectly. I would love to see more Bible stories reimagined in thisfashion." (Joanna May Reviews) About the Author Seth Parks writes inspiring stories, poems and songs for thos
