One of the most life-altering (and grounding) truths I have ever come to know is the truth of what God says about me (He says it about all of us as His created children, in His Word). To know this truth is a steadfast anchor to the heart, mind, and soul. In a time where our children are being taught so many different things about their identity, I believe God placed this book on my heart to help us parents point our little ones to the truth about who they are. Having two toddlers and a little one on the way, my prayer is that in reading this book to our little ones, they will have a beginning understanding of the truth about themselves: that they are created beings, made with unique characteristics and purpose; most of all, they are greatly loved by their Creator. Like the little apple seed, if they will trust God and cling to the truth and endure with faith what life brings each day, the truth will anchor them and keep them rooted as they go through the ups and downs of life and grow in their knowledge and understanding of God and His ways. If you're reading this, I've prayed for you and our little seeds. It is my hope that they may grow strong and be deeply rooted in the truth of God's purpose and love for them.
