Making choices is a tough topic to explain to little ones. I liked how this author tackled the issue and he created a non-threatening tool to discuss all different choices we can make. He shows kids making good and bad choices. Some have them succeed and some fail. I also liked how the author showed kids they can change their mind. They don't have to follow through. They can also ask for forgiveness for a wrong choice. Free will is a deep subject; I liked how he handled it.
The author states in Note to Parents, âAccording to the Bible, having a will is part of what it means to be made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:26)⦠We can say yes and no; we can create and decide. It's this core, God-given capacity that I call a âChooserâ in this book.â â¦âThe shaping and training of the will â helping it to be strong and powerful in the service of good â is one of the most important and most challenging tasks on earth.â â¦âChoices we make shape our lives, so we need to teach our children to be thoughtful and wise in making Godly decisions.â
I like how the author put that. The book starts out showing what your chooser can do. It says, âYou can choose what to say; You can choose what to think. You can go take a bath So your feet will not stink.â
He even brings up a good point. When things are not going well and you get in an argument with someone you can choose to be friendly again. The author says, âWe can choose to make up; We can choose to be sweet. For our Choosers can order Our hands and our feet.â
This book has fun pictures to help illustrate the text and a rhythm similar to Dr. Seuss books. It's a book that is a great way to discuss hard topics simply. This book is a win win for parents and children.
