This is a wonderful book for your budding
reader!! If you have a girl that enjoys reading you don't have to worry about
the content that is within this book. I was able to choose to review this and
one reason I was drawn to the book was because Lily looks a lot like my Lexi, tall,
fair skinned and long curly orange/red hair.
Here's Lily is Biblical based. This is of course
a fiction story that helps young girls understand and address social issues
that at their age may happen to them.
If you have a nearing tween this might be
of interest in your household. One of my favorite things about Lily is that
it's full of humor and character traits. This sweet tween girl is trying her
best to find herself but she is in unfamiliar land. After receiving a
compliment about her looks from a woman in the modeling business, Lily becomes
obsessed with her appearance and with becoming a model. As she sets her sights
on winning the model search fashion show, she exchanges her rock and feather
collection for lip gloss, fashion magazines, and a private “club” with her
closest friends. But when the unthinkable happens the night before the fashion
show, Lily learns a valuable lesson about real beauty.
I love how encouraging her parents are and how
they are trying to help her learn what God wants from her. Teaching her to have
a relationship with God and rely on him instead of herself. This is something I
am trying to teach my daughter as well, to have a relationship with God!
The reading was very easy for my daughter that
is 9. She was able to read aloud to me during our quite time together without
much help at all. We would read this aloud and then talk about it and if it
related to her in any way we would talk about that too. She didn't know that I
was trying to help her throughout the reading of this book but I was... That's
the secret talent of a momma.
This is the first in the series of Here's Lily.
I can't wait to buy Lexi some more of these for her collection.
Disclaimer: I received this book free in exchange for my review.
