CBM Book Review - Wings and a Prayer

Title: Wings and a Prayer
By: Joe Rose
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0

Joe Rose, a talented artist and writer, presents an exciting and adventurous story of Blossom, the caterpillar who dreams of becoming a butterfly with beautiful wings. Blossom learns throughout the book, as she dreams of having wings that her transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly isn’t what she thought it would be. In her mind, things didn’t go as planned. She learns to put all her trust in the Lord and her best friend, Tyler, a branch spider, who knows all too well that Blossom needs much encouragement.

The story of Blossom’s metamorphosis from the cocoon to learning how to fly with the “unlikely” wings, can be humorous at times, as well as a colorful journey brings Blossom’s story to life. Children and adults alike will appreciate Blossom, Tyler, and her determination to have wings. In the end, Blossom learns God had a plan all along and that he blessed her with incredible talent to help others from her own experience.

Using this analogy of a butterfly and based on Jerimiah 17:7, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him,” ~ Author Joe Rose, speaks to small children (ages 6-8) teaching them to pray, rely and trust on the Lord, even when one doesn’t understand. God has His plan and works His best for us. Along the way, issues such as self-acceptance, determination, overcoming, and waiting on God’s perfect timing offering hope in alternative outcomes that shine through. God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28).  

This is a wonderfully expressive and artistic book that children will love and cherish. Parents will certainly want a copy to give to their children, or perhaps grandchildren. ~ A delightful read!

Additionally, this book makes a great gift for family, friends, loved ones, neighbors, and co-workers.
