Mom Thoughts
These lovely picture books are the perfect introduction to these amazing historical figures for children ages 4-8. Generally, the illustrations are realistic enough for it to not seem like a fairy tale, but softer than truly realistic illustrations. Reading biographies about great people of faith is something that is important for Christians of any age, and this is a great introduction to a godly woman who did big things for God. The series is very well done and I highly recommend it for your family.
Note:
-In the Corrie ten Boom book, there is an illustration of a city during the aftermath of war which is depicted a bit more cartoon-like than I would have desired.
-In the Maria Fearing book, there is an illustration of Maria having just thrown a bucket of a dark substance on a picture of the awful king, Leopold II.
-Some of the books use language like “being friends with God” instead of ‘”salvation.”
