You may remember my excitement last October with Thomas Nelson and [a:Liz Curtis Higgs|6214|Liz Curtis Higgs|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1220363584p2/6214.jpg] released one of her children's books in a big board book format perfect for the season --> [b:The Pumpkin Patch Parable|9473342|The Pumpkin Patch Parable|Liz Curtis Higgs|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1286505073s/9473342.jpg|2113644]. This year I am ecstatic about their release of another of her children's books into a big board book format great for this coming Christmas season --> [b:The Pine Tree Parable|10692363|The Pine Tree Parable (Parable Series)|Liz Curtis Higgs|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51cybIoDVYL._SL75_.jpg|281542].

Seriously, I could not be more excited! I am so in love with this new big board book type of format that I am plain giddy. Liz always has love in my book since her Christian Historical Fiction novels were my introduction into my novel passion, but her children's books are wonderful too. Each book with a great overall message straight with Biblical inspiration and each page within filled with a verse that guides the story as well as gives an opportunity for discussion points with one's child.

As I said with The Pumpkin Patch Parable, big board book... What this book is, is a beautiful parable format using the image of a pine tree to share the gospel with our kids. With an applicable verse on each page bringing the story and the message in the bible alive this book is creative and meaningful. The size is great, and AppleBlossom even as a toddler is excited to be able to touch the pages and flip them herself and I rest easy without the fear of her tearing the pages. I love it!
