Description
On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be GoodWhy do women equate self denial with being good? We congratulate ourselves when we resist the donut in the office breakroom. We celebrate our restraint when we hold back from sending an email in anger. We feel virtuous when we wake up at dawn to get a jump on the day. We put others needs ahead of our own and believe this makes us exemplary. In On Our Best Behavior, journalist Elise Loehnen explains that these impulsesoften lauded as unselfish,

Poem by Luci Shaw and Illustrated by Ned Bustard
Format: Hardcover
A wonderful book for all ages! Thank you to InterVarsity Press, Luci Shaw, and Ned Bustard. The book ends with A Note from the Author. Luci Shaw writes, "And if this book inspires children to write their own poem or story, or create some art, both Ned and I would be so very pleased!" Thank you.

Colorful and Vivid
Format: Hardcover
This picture book features vivid cut-paper illustrations that visualize the concrete images in the poetic text. I found aspects of the poem abstract enough that I'm not sure if young children would connect with it, but they can enjoy the rhythmic language and emphasis on phonic sounds related to the letter "O," even if some of the abstract thought is beyond them. The vivid and colorful pages will definitely appeal to both children and adults, and the book has a nice message about hope and God's love.
Throughout the book, the letter "O" appears in different colors, and the note at the beginning of the book encourages children to find things in the illustration that start with that letter. Children could also count how many times the letter appears in the text. This would be a great choice for Christian families, churches, and Christian preschools, and would combine very well with a cut-paper craft for kids to do. The author's note also includes some open-ended discussion questions that adults can use with children.

Our Creative Designer Invites Us to Hope Fully in Him
Format: Kindle
Because I’m spending time now in the public schools, I’m seeing how desperately our children need an infusion of hope, so I’m thrilled to share an InterVarsity Press collaboration between poet Luci Shaw and illustrator Ned Bustard in which hope and joy meet. Little meaning-makers will be entertained by whimsical images and then gently introduced to our safe haven of hope, “the center of the loving heart of God.”
The O in Hope grows up with your child, for toddlers can point to the multicolored O‘s on each page while older children identify the O words and play I SPY in search of critters beginning with the letter O. Both poetry and hope are meant to be spoken out loud, so wise parents who are determined to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering” will find strong support in words and images that point to the creative Designer whose faithfulness invites us to hope fully in him.
Many thanks to IVP Kids for providing a copy of this book to facilitate my review, which is, of course, offered freely and with honesty.

A Treasure
Format: Hardcover
The O in Hope by Luci Shaw and illustrated by Ned Bustard is a beautiful book for children. This book is geared more for younger elementary students, although I read it to my ten year old son and we still loved it. Luci Shaw is an absolute treasure. I read this book after hearing her and Ned Bustard speak about this book on a podcast. I adore her personally and hope she has more poems turned into picture books like this. Ned Bustard was the perfect choice to illustrate this book. I highly recommend this beautiful, cheerful book. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
