My Blanket

It's the miracle of a child with their new exciting skill of reading that I love so much. And when they can find themselves in the story, it becomes even more profound. After reading My Blanket, my granddaughter Malia, was convinced that this story was about her specifically. It was easy for her to think about how many different ways that she has enjoyed playing with her blanket and some of the various ways that others, even animals have used their blankets. I was excited to hear how well she related to this story.

She is correct in the fact that this book has been written for her age group, those from 6 and up, that are reading on their own. It is also a story that would be easy to read to your child and would spark conversation about their own blanket, family life and extraordinary everyday life together. I think this story is suitable for anyone, any age group, anywhere, any location or country and anytime!

My inspiration for this book comes from the comfort of such scriptures as Psalm 62:6 in the Passion Translation, that talks about how He alone is my safe place and His wrap-around presence always protects me....
