About Not Especially Special
Product Description The 2018 winner of the Moonbeam Children's Book Award gold medal, this sweet take on the Noah's ark story will remind children and adults alike of the unimaginable, crazy-big, no-bird-too-ordinary love God has for each one of us. The dove doesn't feel especially special. She is not as beautiful as the parrot, as talented as the songbird, or as fast as the hummingbird. Follow her as she goes on an exciting journey to discover that she is far from just an ordinary bird, and she has a big job ahead of her! Kids will enjoy getting lost in the beautiful pen-and-watercolor illustrations, identifying different animals (you'll even see a few on the endangered list!), and trying to imagine the journey of each animal as they make their way to Noah's ark. As a mom and as director of our children's program at church, I've seen many beautifully illustrated children's bibles, which have been important to me as I seek to teach my kids the stories of our faith. But for some reason, our bookshelf at home was lacking in imaginative, fictional stories that examined and explored the character of God. I wanted to change that. Perfect for baby showers, baptisms, graduation gifts, and birthdays. Written for ages 4-8. Not Especially Special is reminiscent of The Tale of the Three Trees and on par with current classics like Matthew Paul Turner's When God Made You. The story that will help you remember that God loves you because you are you, right down to the sound of your own unique coo. Review Oh, it's a treasure, for sure. The story is delightful and the illustrations are beautiful... A hearty endorsement. --Traci Smith, author of Faithful Families: Creating Sacred Moments at Home About the Author Katie Savage is a writer and Bedtime-Book-Reader Extraordinaire.
