In this engaging look at America, Michelle Medlock Adams introduces little ones to the beliefs and ideals that make America unique. Heartfelt and humorous questions ponder all of the things that America might be about—the flag, the Fourth of July, the Statue of Liberty. Readers quickly learn that America is about more than symbols and monuments. It's a land of freedom and democracy where dreams come true.

Whimsical artwork and rhyming verse will capture children's imaginations as they explore what America means to them.

Our God Is Bigger Than That! begins as the sun rises on the farm, and baby farm animals face their individual fears throughout the day. All discover a simple truth — God is much bigger than their fears. As the sun sets on the farm, the farmer's little daughter is headed to bed, yet she is afraid of the dark. She faces her fear, too. The same stanza "God's greater than your greatest fear. He knows just where you're at. No matter what you face in life — Our God is bigger than that!" repeats throughout the book, with only the source of the fear changing in each spread.

God's Word has much to say about our importance and worth. Devotions for Becoming a Beautiful Woman of God offers biblical encouragement about true beauty, confidence, and happiness. Sixty full-length devotions explore the theme verse of Psalm 139:14 ("I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made"), leaving women feeling the power or God's love—and the grace that transforms everything around it.

Scripture meets sheep in a sixty-day devotional made just for kids!

All God's Creatures: 60 Days of Devotions for Animal-Loving Kids encourages habits of Scripture reading, prayer, and journaling through 60 different entries by over a dozen children's authors, including best-selling author Michelle Medlock Adams.

Full of bright illustrations, this sweet devotional explores a variety of wonderful animals God created and the amazing traits each one exhibits to show us how to be more Christ-like. This is the perfect tool to inspire young hearts to draw close to the Lord.

Experiencing loss—in the varied ways it comes to us—affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling. Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children.

Fly High tells the story of a sister and a brother who love watching a mama bird care for her babies until the unthinkable happens—the mother bird dies. In this story, the reader is taken on a journey through various stages of emotions associated with grief.

It ends, however, with baby birds learning to fly, and the promise of hope that is found in new beginnings. With hope-filled language featured in the layered-text format, our desire is that each reader will discover it’s okay to have the feelings he or she is having and that each new day holds healing, hope, and promise.

Themes:

• Loss

• Feeling sad, angry, lonely or scared

• Grief
