Editorial Reviews

"Not only does this jam-packed little book live up to its title and provide simple and tangible ways that we can show our children how to serve (and often serve alongside them), it also tackles the heart issues behind serving. Why should we serve? Why should we teach our children to serve? Does God expect us to serve?" - Jenae, www.ICanTeachMyChild.com

"In a culture that teaches kids that the world revolves around them (or should), this book is a breath of fresh air with practical, simple ideas for helping our littlest ones grow their hearts to serve others.” - Charity Hawkins, www.TheHomeschoolExperiment.com

In a world full of people who have “the gimmes," it’s so hard to raise a child to have a giving heart...Kristen shows you small ways to give (as well as larger ways) that anyone, even your children, can take part in. I hope you will consider using this book for your family. I love each and every way to serve in this book and have already started with my daughter. It’s amazing to see how her heart is opening up to those in need." -Lauren, www.TutusAndTeaParties.blogspot.com
