꯱ׁׅ֒ᨰׁׅꫀׁׅܻꫀׁׅܻtׁׅ ℘ ꭈׁׅɑׁׅ֮tׁׅꪱׁׅꪀׁׅᧁׁ: 5⭐️

I give it a 5⭐️ because it's all about love and about kindness to the world. The world is actually a letter. It's the letter O. The pictures were very organized and very beautiful. The book had rainbows 🌈.

Would I Recommend: YES!

мσмму яαтιηg: 4⭐️

I loved the simplicity of this book. It had minimal words but very impactful words. It was simple enough that Sweet P was able read some of it herself. One of the main themes is unconditional love, and the mantra was, "you are known, you are treasured, you are loved.", which is always an important lesson to learn. The illustrations were absolutely beautiful.

Would I Recommend: YES!

“What if the World Is a Letter?” Is a beautifully illustrated book for children. This would be a bestseller for the stunning illustrations. The first page is perfect. A simple passage from the Bible that is so mighty. It was very cute and heartwarming. The only critique I have is the random bold lettering of “you are loved you are enough you are seen” on the pages in the middle of a sentence is confusing and doesn’t flow. Thank you to NetGalley, Tommy Nelson Publishing, and Hilary Echols for the chance to read an eARC in exchange for my honest review. 4.5 stars from me!

I absolutely loved What If the World Is a Letter. The dedication page at the beginning makes this book especially meaningful as a gift for a birthday or a Christian milestone such as a baptism or child dedication.

I also appreciated that the book opens with the anchor verse, 1 John 4:16, which beautifully sets the tone for the message that follows. The artwork throughout the book is stunning - soft, magical, and full of wonder - perfectly complementing the gentle message of the story.

The recurring theme of each child being known, treasured, and loved resonates throughout the book and offers a powerful, reassuring message for young readers. This would make a wonderful keepsake book for families looking to share faith, love, and a sense of belonging with their children.
