\"\"<\/a>\"\"Little One, God Loves You<\/a>\"\" is a\u00a0board book that clocks in at under 10 pages and roughly 80 words total. It was written by Amy Warren Hilliker. If the “Warren” sounds familiar, it’s because the author is the daughter of Rick Warren, founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church and author of The Purpose Driven Life<\/a>\"\", which has sold over 30 million copies.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0book is actually a reissue from the original version that was released in 2004. The original version had illustrations of a cartoon multicultural family. In this version, they decided to go all bunny. The illustrations by Polona Lovsin are painted in watercolor style. The detail is exquisite, from the flowers and butterflies of the opening scene, to the family dinner of mommy, daddy, and brother\/sister bunny sitting down to eat their carrot dinner with grandma and grandpa bunny (with the grey fur). The little baby bunny who’s the protagonist of the story is really, really adorable, and your child will instantly\u00a0be able to\u00a0identify with the little one as it wakes up, eats with its family, plays, helps out with chores, and says good night.<\/p>\n

The message is “inspired by The Purpose Driven Life”. If you never read that book in years (or ever), here’s a reminder of how that book is organized:<\/p>\n
