There’s another book exchange going on at Overwhelmed with Joy<\/a>. I’ve received several books from people, and although I would love to pass them on, I have to admit that I haven’t finished reading them, yet. I’m actually in the middle of about 3 books right now.<\/p>\n So, I’m offering a special book this month. It’s a wonderful book for children and adults called “I chose you”.<\/p>\n I have a special love for this beautiful book, since it was illustrated by none other than my talented sister, Amy. You can see more of Amy’s work here<\/a>. And if you think you’d like this book to read to your kids or for a Christmas gift and you don’t win it, there are some used ones here<\/a> for very reasonable prices.<\/p>\n All you have to do to be entered in this drawing is leave a comment on this post. Any comment will do, but I’d especially appreciate comments about your favorite children’s or picture book. This contest will close on Wednesday, November 14th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s another book exchange going on at Overwhelmed with Joy.

Children come in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and colors. And they come with unique talents, gifts, interests, likes, and dislikes. I Chose You celebrates those differences as it reminds parents of the one thing all children have in common: the need to feel loved.
