Synopsis

In Shantel P. Henderson's warm and delightful debut picture book, children will enjoy discovering biblical words of affirmation from Holy Scripture that help them understand God's greatness and His endless love. The book gently encourages young readers to recognize their unique, God-given identity early on, sharing that their true worth comes from God, not from others. It beautifully explores themes such as self-worth, emotional regulation, self-acceptance, and confidence, nurturing a sense of spiritual security that can stay with them for a lifetime.


Children will also meet Queen Ariel, who is on the autism spectrum, nonverbal, and sometimes finds it hard to express her needs, feelings, and pain. This can lead to meltdowns, self-injury, and overstimulation, but the story highlights Ariel's strengths and how she gently manages her emotional and sensory challenges.

Princess Avery takes children on fun-filled daily adventures, bursting with her lively personality and bright positivity. She creates a safe, caring, and supportive environment for Ariel during their daily routines, expressing sisterly love. This heartfelt story encourages acceptance and shares important lessons about kindness and perseverance. It's perfect for bedtime devotions, Sunday school, classroom faith activities, or sharing special moments with friends. By building a caring community rooted in kindness, it aims to inspire, impact, and empower young minds. Suitable for children ages 3 and up, this charming book is the first in the joyful Chosen Little Blessings series!
