Basil, a branch on a scraggly vine, learns that when we trust in God and His loving care, we become a part of the family of God. Story based on the teaching of Jesus in chapter fifteen, verse one of John's Gospel.
While I enjoyed [b:Jesus and the Children|7327761|Jesus and the Children|Andrew McDonough|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513BnrrlvIL._SL75_.jpg|8950475], this one is absolutely delightful. In a beautiful manner, one of my favorite sections of scripture is explained to children. A parable in images and short phrases is a perfect educational tool for showing just how much the Creator loves his creations, and what he has ultimately done for us in joining us with Jesus. This is a book recommended for ages 4-7 and for early readers and comprehension I think that is a great age range, yet even at 10 months old my daughter enjoyed sitting in my lap and listening to me read the story and point out the pictures. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from the Cecil and Friends series.
