This is the Day book review and giveaway

February 24, 2009 by Momstart 47 Comments

This is the day…..Does it make you want to start singing?

This is the day,
This is the day that the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it,….

Oh how the Lord has captured my heart and i want to share that with my children. My daughter asked me the other day about God. It made me smile, I was wondering if it was prompted by her new book, This is the day.

This Is the Day! was written by Nancy White Carlstrom. This Is the Day! is beautifully illustrated. It is so colorful it captures Zoe’s and Miles’ attention. While they pull the book from each other mommy or daddy read it to them. I think my husband has read it more times than I have.
It reads like a poem from page to page and is about teaching the children to take care of the world. I get distracted by the art. You can read the press release.

Based on Psalm 118:24, This Is the Day! takes kids ages 4-7 on
a daily walk through God’s creation – from deer grazing in the morning dew on
Monday, to robins’ nests and butterflies on Thursday to the beauty of rocky
coastline on Sunday

.

About the Author: Nancy White Carlstrom lives in my area the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She lives in the San Juan Islands and I hear they are beautiful and only a few hours away from me. 😉 She has been surrounded by the beautiful landscapes that we have and that was part of her inspiration for this book. She used to live in Alaska where you can often see whales. Well, when you near the water.

“I have always felt a deep connection to the natural world and have long enjoyed
the Psalms,” says Carlstrom who chose the San Juan Islands in the Pacific
Northwest, one of her favorite destinations, as the book’s setting. “This Is the
Day! is a celebration of God’s creation encouraging the readers to be surprised
by wonder in the natural world.”
