The Moon is Always Round, written by Jonathan Gibson and illustrated by Joe Hox, aims to remind children that God is always good, just like the moon is always round. Though we can’t always see the full shape of the moon, we know it is always round. Though we can’t always see God’s goodness, we know He is good all the time. The Moon is Always Round makes me cry every time I read it. The boy’s baby sister is stillborn and he struggles to understand. It’s based on the real-life experience of the author and his son. The illustrations in The Moon is Always Round are lovely and the story captured both of my daughters’ interest. However, both agreed that they don’t want to read it again because it is so sad. The Moon is Always Round by Jonathan Gibson is a good resource for a family dealing with grief over the loss of a loved one, but it is not a book that my children want to return to for entertainment. Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher. All opinions in this review are my own. This is a book that is written with love, and not for every child, but there is a need, and trying to help a young one deal with the death of a sibling. Yes, no matter what the moon is always round, and symbolizes that God is always with us, he is ever Faithful. What a wonderful way to share a Christian book with a little one, dealing with a loss, this book does come with some lessons to use with your children. There are memory verses, and then there is for adults, the story behind this book. I received this book through Read With Audra, and was not required to give a positive review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"The moon is always round, even when we can't always see the whole moon. Through this illustration, professor and author Jonathan Gibson helps children understand that God is always good, even in difficult times when we can't always see all of his goodness. Help your kids find answers to hard questions about God and suffering"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This is a sweet story with beautiful illustrations and it offers parents and their children the chance to talk about God and His wonderful Grace. In the back of the book, author Jonathan Gibson offers Lessons for Children and The Story Behind This Book and these extras offer more opportunities to discuss how God's goodness is always with us.
I am hesitant, however, to recommend this as a book for all children because there is a mention of a baby sister who is stillborn and we see the grief of this family. This would certainly be an excellent book for parents and children who are dealing with miscarriage or death but I'm not sure that it should be read to all young children.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from New Growth Press but a positive review was not required. These are my own thoughts. ( )
