Jessica’s Review:

The Gift That I Can Give is a short children’s picture book that talks about how we all have a special gift.  This story is a journey for one little girl as she tries to figure out just what her gift is.  This book shows God’s love and she even prays to try to find out her gift.  This book shows that even the smallest and simplest action (even from a child) can help someone in a huge way.

The illustrations are impressive:  They are large, colorful, and show a diversity of children throughout.  The pictures help to enhance the reading experience.

The Gift That I Can Give is written in a fun way for children (everything rhymes!) and they are sure to enjoy it.  Maybe they will even realize what their special gift is after reading this book!

Special thanks to Netgalley for my copy that I received.
