More from Donna

“More than 30 years ago I discovered the meaning of the Book of Psalms. Whether I was struggling or celebrating, God led me to individual psalms that encouraged and comforted me and gave me the strength to persevere. It is my heart’s desire to see children learn the power and peace of the psalms early in life so they, too, will turn to God’s Word when they need hope and comfort, or they are searching for the right words to praise Him for His blessings and favor. This book of rhyming psalms protects the biblical meaning of each psalm while putting the message in a child’s vocabulary with rhyme to help them remember.”

My Review

Psalms in Rhyme for Little Hearts is a cute children's book from Donna Wyland. I love how different verses from psalms are transformed into fun and entertaining rhyming poetry. In the end of the book, there is an inclusion of the original version of the Psalms featured, as well as a glossary to show what certain words mean. I thought this was a great little collection to read.

Psalms in Rhyme for Little Hearts is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist, Courtney Smith. The pictures are vibrantly colorful and eye catching for the smallest of readers. I thought they were a perfect addition to the book. 

I am giving Psalms in Rhyme for Little Hearts five stars. I highly recommend it for readers between the ages of three and seven years old. 

I received soft cover copy of Donna Wyland's Psalms in Rhyme for Little Hearts from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

My Review

I found 'Twas the Night Before Jesus to be a precious read by Donna Wyland. It beautifully tells the story of Jesus. It tells about his birth and his life. There is a lesson that so many need to be reminded about the true meaning of Christmas. 

'Twas the Night Before Jesus is illustrated by the very talented Courtney Smith. The pictures are so bright and vivid that make it easy to keep younger readers attention. 

I am giving 'Twas the Night Before Jesus a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for families that have children between the ages of six and twelve. It would be a great addition for families to add to their Christmas time reading traditions.

I received a paperback copy of 'Twas the Night Before Jesus from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

Having experienced much loss early in life, God gave me a heart and a longing to know all I can about living forever with Him in heaven.

My Review

If I Could Ask Jesus is a beautiful book to explain young ones about Heaven and Angels. I received this book at the right time for my children after their father passed away. I thought it explained Heaven perfectly for them. 

If I Could Ask Jesus is illustrated by the talents of Lynne Davis. The pictures perfectly follow the story and so vibrant and colorful that hard not to capture one’s eye. The younger readers will be captivated and be able to hold their attention and continue reading to find out what happens all the way to the end.

If I Could Ask Jesus is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for young readers who are between the ages of three and seven. It would be great gift for a child that has experienced a loss of someone they were close to.

My Review: 

Autumn's Harmony is my first experience with Donna Wyland’s writing. It definitely will not be the last. I love how she was able bring some important lessons in this story. The power of forgiving yourself, moving on from your past, having faith, and being blessed with what you have. I admired Anna right from the start. Like me, so many readers would be able to relate to her and understand what she is going through. At times, it was really thought provoking. 

I am giving Autumn's Harmony four and a half stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean and inspirational fiction. I believe they would be able to find this story relatable. I am looking forward to reading more by Donna Wyland in the near future. 

I received a paperback copy of Autumn's Harmony from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

My Review

Your Home in Heaven by Donna Wyland is a wonderful book for children. It inspires and teaches them about Heaven, God, and Jesus. It shows them the promises of eternal life and where we go after passing away. There are, also, discussion questions that will help them have a better understanding about Heaven.

Your Home in Heaven is illustrated by the talented Lynne Marie Davis. These colorful pictures visually complete the book. They perfectly keep little ones attention throughout.

Your Home in Heaven will be getting a well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of four and nine years old. I believe it can be a good gift to give for those who have lost a loved one, as well. 

I received Your Home in Heaven from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
