What I Hope For You Review

What I Hope for You perfectly captures the joy and dreams of a grandmother for her young grandchild. Jen Bonn simply, vividly and sincerely expresses the hopes and wishes many of us have for our own grandchildren to become strong, loving and fulfilled in life. I will read this book many, many times to my own young grandson.
Donna Wood, English teacher

What I Hope for You is a lovely book of a grandparent's prayer for her grandchild's future. It is filled with beautiful imagery of castles by lakes and meadows full of flowers. The author dreams of the child being around nature and sensing God's beauty in the world, but also of the child growing into an adult with beauty inside their heart.
Kathy Bridges, librarian

I cannot say enough about What I Hope for You! I read it to my kids, and they loved it! It opened doors for wonderful questions and conversations. It is long enough to create a meaningful memory yet short enough to hold their attention. What wonderful affirmations to speak and pray over the ones we love the most!
Amber Faye Wardlaw, mother of three

As a grandmother of three, this book resonated with me, and it is exactly what I would wish for my grandchildren. The first time I read What I Hope for You, I remembered my time with my grandmother, and I realized that these were all wishes she had for me.
Kimberly Tucker, aircraft mechanic III-Gen-Mods

This book is charming and uplifting - a delightful read smeared with empathy and hope that lives through generations. We treasure this book and hope you will also make it a part of your cherished bedtime collection. This book is deemed ideal for children anywhere between the ages of 3 to 7 years old.

I went to that address and found a very old and feeble lady resting on the front porch. Hearing my rustle, she called out, "who is there?"
