“Just In Case You Ever Wonder “

Just In Case You Ever Wonder

Max Lucado (Goodreads Author)
Shelves: children-s, christian, beautiful-illustrations, 2019, favorites, arc, family

A beautifully illustrated book with a beautiful and profound message. A book about love, about family, and about God.

This book manages to cover very deep topics without being pretentious. It is a story about a parent bear explaining to the baby bear how unique and special it is, and how much it is loved since the day it was born. The language is simple yet beautiful. It is easily understood and still manages to put into words the unique love a parent has for their child. It sounds like your average mommy-and-daddy-love-you-book but it’s not. I personally could relate to it so much.

  

The book also mentions where God fits into all this and that he loves and cares for the child with the heart of a parent. It also talks about heaven and what it will be like there in child appropriate language.

And if all this still doesn’t convince you, I’m sure the amazing illustrations will win you over.

Thank you NetGalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

“NATIONAL FOR TWELVES DAY”

National For Twelves Day - April 12

NATIONAL FOR TWELVES DAY

On National For Twelves Day (4/12), the nation will honor a magnificent number that holds significance in several ways.

We measure our days in two 12 hour sets. When we buy roses, eggs, and pastries, we purchase them by the dozen. How many months are in a year? Twelve. Of course, math lovers appreciate 12 because it has a perfect number of divisors.

Sports fans remember all the great athletes in every sport who have worn that fabulous number. For example, Terry Bradshaw, John Stockton, Jim Kelly, Dwight Howard, and Joe Namath come to mind.

And football fans wear the number to represent themselves as the 12th member of their favorite team. These vital members of the football team support players on and off the field. Especially integral to the success of the players and the teams, the celebration focuses on the fans who inspire their teams to be at their best every day.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalForTwelvesDay

Honor the grand number 12 by posting a picture of a dozen things!

  • Roses, carton of eggs, or even a listicle of the 12 steps you’ll take to reach your New Year’s goals.
  • Posting a picture wearing your favorite athlete’s 12 jersey!
  • Taking pictures of the number 12 when you see it.

12 is such a sublime number. We celebrate every day®. #412 will be an official day to celebrate it! Use #NationalForTwelvesDay or #412 to share on social media.
