Through engaging rhyme, pastor and bestselling author Mark Batterson and his daughter encourage young children to discover the joys of both counting their blessings and being a blessing to others.
Count your blessings two by two-- and bless the world with the blessing of YOU! God's blessings can be found all around us, and even young children can learn to see and appreciate these gifts--from the smell of freshly baked cookies to the joy of climbing a tree! But God doesn't just intend for us to receive blessings; He also wants us to bless others. With whimsical rhyme and delightful illustrations, The Blessing of You helps young children recognize signs of God's generosity and goodness in their everyday lives and encourages them to pass on those blessings by being their own wonderful, God-created selves.Author Biography
