Opis

Anna's Friends Save the Animal Shelter is book #2 in a series of 8 illustrated books for the 3rd grade level, or age 8-10. The Anna's Friends series is a fun way for children to discover what their motivational gifts are as stated in the book of Romans chapter 12. Book #2 is a delightful story about how Anna, who has the gift of facilitation (leadership) leads her classmates to coordinate a project to raise money for the local animal shelter. The reader will interact with Anna, Hiro, Maria, Jesse, Sarah, Daniel, and Cayden. Each of the children has one of the seven motivational gifts. We see how they interact with one another based on their gifts. This excerpt shows us that Anna is in full blown leadership mode the night before her big event: "Anna could hardly sleep. She watched the clock move to 12:30 am. Over and over in her head she reviewed her list just to make sure that everything was done. Questions kept popping into her mind and refused to let her sleep. What if nobody comes? Will the music be loud enough? Oh my, if Maria forgets her lines everything will fall apart. And-and the costumes must be there by 9:00 o'clock in the morning Anna jumped out of bed, rushed over to grab her notebook and reviewed the list one more time just to make sure everything was ready for her big day." Your child will come to love the Anna's Friends series and will want to be one of her friends too. Early reviews: Tammy: "Kendyl and I have loved it We are reading it together, laughing and learning. The book prompted Kendyl to ask me what was her gift. I said let's keep reading and find out. She has a servant's heart. It also prompted Kendyl to think about her friends and classmates and their gifts. What's great is that this age group can relate so well to the author's purpose. It comes shining through clearly. I didn't tell Kendyl the theme of the book...she figured it out on her own which is important for this audience age. Yvonne is an excellent author " Paola: "I really enjoyed reading this book with my children. It got my children and I thinking about our own God given gifts and how we want to explore them further. We were so into the story that we could feel the emotion coming from the book. We felt Anna's excitement as well as her sorrow at times. It is a great book which I will recommend to anyone You even made my eyes water a few times. Xavier: My 9-year-old son laughed at the silly things Hiro would do to the girls because I think he relates to the character. I like how Mr. Henderson wants his students to share their God given gifts with the world. Aysel: My 10-year-old daughter was into the book and loved how God was included and prayer was mentioned. She really enjoyed reading Anna's Friends. She liked how it was easy to understand and follow. Angela: "I opened the manuscript and began reading a few pages. I was IMMEDIATELY "sucked" into the story and I can't wait to finish what I need to do right now so I may get back to the book. Enough said? I am...I, I don't have the words. This is a God thing."
