God's Little Flowers

Lindsay Schlegel, illustrated by Joy LaForme

"The brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtide beauty." -- Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Gemma is discouraged because all her friends seem to have more impressive talents than she does, and she can't figure out what makes her special. To cheer Gemma up (and maybe help her discover her gift), her mom takes Gemma and her sisters to the botanical gardens. The marvelous flowers -- all so different but all so wonderful -- help Gemma to see that God gave each of us our own special gifts, which he wants us to share with others. Sometimes those gifts can be hard to see, and it can take someone who loves us to show us the value of our joy, kindness, and generosity.

Beautifully illustrated with an uplifting message, God's Little Flowers is a wonderful way to show young girls that they are each bestowed with particular gifts from being made in the image and likeness of God. Through this book, every girl may come to rejoice in the glorious reality of God's unending love for her.
