Synopsis: Based on Galatians 6:9, this second title in Gabby's series follows little Sophie on her quest to do kind things for her family. But each of Sophie's good intentions results in a great, big mess-and a busy guardian angel as Gabby tries to keep the little girl from harm. Sophie quickly gets frustrated amidst each task and refuses to continue.
Little ones will learn an important lesson on perseverance when Gabby whispers words from Galatians 6:9 into Sophie's ear: "Let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." Young hearts will also be reminded of God's continual protection over them in the form of angels, just as Gabby protects and encourages Sophie.
Review: Kiddo was so excited to see this book arrive, as she adored the first book in the series, Gabby, God's Little Angel, which we reviewed last year. She laughed at the adventures of trying to wash a dog, as bathing our Marley is an adventure in itself, as she is so large, and will not stay in a tub! We had quite a discussion after reading the book about starting projects and finishing them! Whether it 'stuck' I'm not too sure (pun intended), as she's 4! LOL. But the Gabby books have her believing in her own guardian angel, so we shall see!
I love this series as it helps teach character with Christian values! It is on the top of my list for books to give to little girls especially!
