"Sometimes our wants make it hard to see

all the good gifts God gives you and me..."

From strawberry-cake breakfasts to trips to Kalamazoo, God Gave Me Better is a playful yet powerful journey through one child's day filled with big dreams, disappointments, and surprising joy. With a head full of "I wants," our young narrator discovers that while her plans may fall short, God's gifts always reach deeper-and farther-than she ever imagined.

Told in lyrical rhyme and brought to life with whimsical, full-color illustrations, this heartwarming story gently teaches children that God's "no" often hides a better "yes"-one wrapped in love, purpose, and unexpected beauty.

Complete with a family devotional and reflection questions in the back, God Gave Me Better is more than a bedtime story-it's a tool for meaningful discipleship, emotional growth, and faith-building conversations between children and the grownups who love them.

Whether read snuggled on the couch or shared in Sunday school, this book invites readers of all ages to trust that God's way and goodness is not just better-it's best.
