Reviews for Grandma, Granddad, We Want to Praise God
5 stars. “What a great teaching tool! Too bad I never had this when my children were young. I plan on doing a better job with my grandchildren.. It’s okay to sing and rejoice in the Lord in all things. Thank God for all things even when times are hard for us.. Challenges teach us that God is with us no matter what. Thanking God when times are good is much easier. This book reminded me that we have to let our little light to shine all the time not just at night when you say your prayers.. This book was a wonderful reminder of what I learned as a child and I want to teach my grandchildren what I had forgotten This is a great book for children and is so well illustrated. It is a book aimed at children but it is definitely a great reminder for parents and even grandparents too.. Put the Lord in the front of our thoughts instead of last. I can’t say enough good things about this book and am thankful I had the opportunity to review it. I definitely will be recommending this book to my friends and even my children and will be giving it to any grandchildren that come along.”

Reviews for Daddy, I Want to Know God
“Once you read this book, it will blow you away . . .
What have we here? A creation that’s amazingly beautiful. This is only one way to describe this gorgeous children’s storybook. Although I’m sure there are other wonderful adjectives, I’ll leave other readers to come up with more. Surely, it won’t take much thinking once those pages are flipped.
When I turned the pages, it took my breath away . . . reading the words and seeing the character images in their interactions. The words, the colors, and the images (I must say) I found them all “totally breathtaking.”This author has done an exceptional job in presenting her series. I thought the first series “Mama I Want To See God,” was a work of art. With this one though, it speaks for itself! Masterpiece, Masterpiece . . . and that it is!”
~Nina Norstrom, author of “Not a Blueprint: It’s the Shoe Prints that Matter” and “Mirror, Mirror On the Wall, Where Does My Self-Love Fall?”
“A delightful and informative piece of writing to teach young children about God and his love for them. It is such a unique and tender book with vivid illustrations that are so relatable and will inspire young readers to want to learn more about God and how they fit into His divine plan. I love the way the story presents the spiritual leadership of the fathers as they teach the children about God’s love. I promise you will love this book. It will make your heart happy!”
~Janet Sheperd
“This was a good Christian book. A great book for little girls to share with their daddies.”
~Leah, Vanessa’s daughter
“An excellent tool to start conversations with children about God and answer their questions. Illustrations give excellent visualization of the content. One of the best gifts I’ve blessed my grandchildren with. I pray that they in turn will one day give it to their children.”

I love the way the author shares God in an uncomplicated way so that it is simple for kids to understand and grasp. I was overjoyed to see all the effort and time the author has invested to make this book child friendly in all her explanations about God and His unfailing love for us.

Summary: A well-illustrated book, full of bright and colorful pictures that helps parents explain to their kids about God’s amazing love. I highly recommend this book to parents with young kids. It is guaranteed to hold their attention and explain some important truths to them.”

“***A great book for Daddies (and Mommies) to read to their little one who are starting to ask about God. This Book helps explain the love that God has for us and how important we are to them in a way for a young child to understand.***
As someone who has fallen in love with reading to my daughter, I have also found myself looking for more and more books to read and review. Even though I’m pretty sure this book is supposed to be read from a dad’s perspective, I still decided as a Mommy I can read it to. And I just love the idea of children getting to know God.
A cute book that explains how much God loves all of his children. Starts with a little boy asking his Dad how do you really know God knows and loves us, so the Dad answers the boy, while also answering other questions a kid might ask when learning about God.
***My Review***
‘Daddy, I Want to Know God’ have scriptures from the Bible placed throughout the book and each time you see a verse you see the Dad explaining to his son the meaning. This book teaches the wonderful message of how God looks at all of us and what is so amazing about His love. Another great thing about this book is the beautiful illustrations that bring a feeling of happiness. The colors really grab the eye.”

Reviews for Mama, I Want to See God
I think that this is an excellent book for parents and their children. It provides answers to some of the many questions that children may have about God and religion.
~Shannon Hearne for NetGalley
The overall theme and message of this book is beautiful. I love the premise. With simplicity of words and colorful illustrations to support her message, Fortenberry communicates a story of purity.
~Kim Teamer for NetGalley
Children can ask questions that put us on the spot without even trying. The most difficult to answer are those about believing in a God one can not see or touch. They believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus without proof, but ask such penetrating questions when it comes to God. Vanessa offers answers children of all ages can understand, told in verse form that appeals to them. The verse along with the beautiful illustrations will have your young reader asking to read “Momma, Want To See God” again and again.
