Leyni's God Adventure, by Sandy Hill (Create Space, 2018, $11.99, 28ppPB) Review by Skye Anderson
Do you remember your dreams from when you were five years old? Did you want to be an astronaut, a cowboy, a superathlete, or did you want to save the world, teach the world, feed the world, cure the world? Dreams of saving the world by feeding all the children, by building enough schools and clinics for all the little children of the world?
What did your parents say when you told them? Chances are that they smiled and changed the subject, right? But what if you really wanted to do what God talks about? What would you have given if your parents had listened, really listened, and then helped make your wish come true?
It happened to Leyni!
Her wish was to give food and water to the poor. So, her parents, brother and sister, and grandparents Poppy and Grammy helped think of ideas to make money and they loved one idea. So they all set to work and the proceeds came in by the bushels full! Soon they had enough money for a water well in Sudan!
And Then, . . .
Leyni had another great idea! To buy animals like chickens who lay eggs and sheep to provide wool. And that sounds like another book!
Bonus: Just like Heaven, Just Believe, Leyni's God Adventure also comes in a DIY version, with no pictures so the young reader can read, imagine the pictures and then draw the pictures themselves. How cool is that?
