This book has great illustrations that support a wonderful story about finding faith in God. As you are teaching your child about principles in the bible; this book will help you teach faith. What a wonderful experience it is when we can see our children begin to develop their faith in God, and grow from a tiny mustard seed to a firmly planted tree.

Here is what I thought.........
I read this cute book in one sitting. I enjoyed the illustrations and the message of the book. I liked that the book explained faith in a way a child can understand. I also liked that it showed how the little boy, Danny stepped out in his own faith. I do feel that maybe the author could have added an instance where we may not get what we want just because we have faith. God doesn't always give us what we want. I understand you don't want to over complicate it for kids but I do feel like
that should have been addressed somehow. As I said before I liked the illustrations. They are very simple and don't distract or take away from the message of the story. I think this could be helpful to teach your children about faith. I received this book for free from the publisher. A positive review was not required. All of the thoughts are my own.

I read this one too! And the issue of not getting everything we want was addressed but more in the discussion questions instead of the actual book.
