The Parable Series: The Parable Of The Lily

I love [a:Liz Curtis Higgs 6214 Liz Curtis Higgs http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1220363584p2/6214.jpg], I love giant lap board books. What could be a better book for this Easter season than a parable story we already love?! There are four books in the Parables Series from Liz, and now this spring we have a third one republished as a lap board book. (Last Christmas we got [b:The Pine Tree Parable 10692363 The Pine Tree Parable (Parable Series) Liz Curtis Higgs http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328001834s/10692363.jpg 281542] and before that for Thanksgiving we had [b:The Pumpkin Patch Parable 9473342 The Pumpkin Patch Parable Liz Curtis Higgs http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1286505073s/9473342.jpg 2113644].) I cannot wait for the fourth one [b:The Sunflower Parable 133790 The Sunflower Parable Liz Curtis Higgs http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172028104s/133790.jpg 128885] to come as a board book - I can only assume that will be our summer surprise! Each page has a verse and statement that allows the reader to open up the scripture to a child's mind. A gift neglected and forgotten might provide a lesson and surprise and that's what my daughters can learn while reading this one. I absolutely love this format. I honestly cannot elaborate enough to tell you how great these lap board books are. My toddler can lay on her belly and just stare at the pictures on her own (she's now in the stage of retelling bits of stories to herself that she remembers from when I read to her) and she goes over the story. I know that she does not get all of it at this stage, but she's getting some of it and it's all a blessing.
