The Princess The Pearls & The Pekingese is the story of a young princess, but she's not your ordinary princess. She is the daughter of the Creator of the universe, the King of kings! In this beautifully illustrated book, young readers, as well as the adults who read aloud, discover the important message of God's love for young girls and the role they play in his world. This very special message was explored in the first volume in this series, and it continues strongly though this Christmas edition. Through the words of author, Elizabeth Jamie Katz, The Princess experiences Christmas in a variety of ways, with her family, through activities at school and with her friends and at church. As the holidays develop, she is exposed to the joys of the season. She learns to bake Christmas cookies (recipes provided in the book for children to try, with adult supervision). There is the fun of shopping for presents. With friends and family, she experiences fun in the snow, as well as the enjoyment of singing in a choir. Throughout all of the various events of the Christmas season, she is aware of the importance of God's role -- as well as the value God places on her being part of all the joyous activities. As with the first book in this series, and with all yet to come, the message is clear: young girls hold a very dear place in the heart of God. Join the Princess and her adorable Pekingese as they embark on a fanciful adventure taking them from spaceships to submarines, ice skating to shopping, and from humorous mishaps to glamorous tea parties. All as they share a special and timeless message for young girls everywhere that they too are princesses God's precious daughters!?The Princess The Pearls & The Pekingese is a lovely book with beautiful illustrations and makes a perfect bedtime story you and your child will enjoy time and time again!
