The ministry of ordinary places by Shannan Martin

This book is such a great reminder to bloom where you are planted and to not be discouraged where you are because God can use you in the ordinary and make your life extraordinary.
This book is a beautiful reminder that life rarely takes you where you think it will but how God can use you regardless of where you find yourself.
How fitting the cover shows coffee mugs because it truly does feel like Shannan invites you into her life and opens her heart up, sharing the struggles and victories from her own life. Filled with heartwarming stories and sage advice this book is a wonderful book for any of us struggling to find God in our day to day lives.

God bless you and Good night by Hannah Hall

This is an absolutely charming book that the whole family has quickly fallen in love with. My 10 month old in particular really loves the touch and feel aspect of this book and was having fun finding it on the pages. My 3 year old loved identifying the different animals and pointing them out and thought it was fun how they said goodnight to their parents.
The artwork is charming and adorable and the words flow along in a lyrical way that is sure to capture and engaged young and old alike. I can see this quickly becoming a bedtime favorite!

You are by Emily Assell

I was utterly delighted with this book,though it is not very big it packs so much wisdom and depth in its few short pages and this is the kind of book I think would be beneficial to read to ones child daily, especially as too often we leave these things unsaid and get wrapped up in the daily activities.
I love how this book speaks words of affirmation to your children and then brings in a beautiful Bible verse to pack it up that are  short and to the point, I know they would make awesome memory verses for kids to memorize!
The illustrations are simply fantastic too, the perfect addition to this gorgeous book, the illustrations alone are enough to make it endearing and then the content, well it is an absolute winner!

How do you say good night? by Catalina Echeverri

I have read a lot of children's book,goodness that is about all I read as my 3 year old adores being read to and when I say that this book is one of the best ones I have ever read for night time, I mean it. Not only is the content absolutely amazing, I love how it rhythms and flows so well, very clever and well written, not to mention you are able to expose the littles to how a group of lions is a pride of lions, etc I know didn't read about that stuff till I was much older so how great to expose them to it when they are little!
I also adore how this book is all about the Lord and His blessings, perfect to keep in mind always! I think it will direct discussions and help little ones count their own blessings.
The illustrations are utterly charming too, whimsical and yet realistic enough too.
If you are looking for a wonderful book to add to your nightly routine I highly recommend this book
