If you have a baby girl...

My mom found this book at Wal-Mart and it was in Lydda Grace's stocking. It's called I'd Be Your Princess by Kathryn O'Brien and is all about a little girl talking with her daddy about all the things she and he would do if he were a king and she were his princess. That's sweet, but the best part is that each page includes a Bible verse that focuses on what makes "princess-like" character.

For example, "That night at the royal ball, I would ask you to dance with me," said the girl. "And I would let you stay up way past your bedtime," said her father, "because you are such good company." Your love has given me great joy and encouragement. Philemon 1:7

So that doesn't really do it justice... but anyway.

This book was apparently published in 2003 in paper pages, but we have the board book variety. The text is a little long but Lydda Grace does well listening through the whole thing... I don't know that it would be the best for anyone much younger.

I seriously can't get through this one without crying.
