God Says I'm Beautiful

     Join Anna in a pursuit of outward beauty.  She seeks validation through the creative and colorful costumes in her dress-up crate and is met with Scripture focusing on inward beauty and her mother's loving wisdom.  In the end, God Himself softens her heart and allows her to believe the truth that she is His beautiful child, made and loved by Him.

     This is a wonderful story to read with children again and again.  Children will love the bright illustrations and imaginative outfits displayed throughout the book.  Parents can grab this book and find verses addressing beauty from all across God's Word woven together throughout this story.  The value of an individual as a child of God, deeply loved gives an age-old reminder of this much needed truth.
