The innocence of this book floats on the wings of the butterflies that are colorfully illustrated within. This book, written by Angela Trujillo, is so much more than what lies on the surface. There are spiritual truths that even adults can benefit from hearing, yet are presented in ways that our children can relate to.
Every child, no matter how healthy, has obstacles to overcome due to living in a fallen world. Within these pages, we learn that Elizabeth faces hardships, frustrations, and even isolation because of her lazy eye; a lazy eye she has to wear an eye patch for. Little Elizabeth does what we all need to do: she turns to Jesus in prayer. Through tears and desperation, she prays for healing.
After having a dream of being healed, she believes that she will experience her healing and have a good life without her patch. It was such a beautiful moment when Elizabeth recognized that her lazy eye and patch was not who she was. She trusted that God would come through for her, and that very faith helped her push through the daily hardships and pain.
This book is a great addition for any child’s library. I thoroughly enjoyed the message of faith in our Healer, and the perseverance of walking in that faith even when we cannot see the desired results…yet. I highly encourage you to order a copy today, and I can’t wait for another book by Angela Trujillo to bless us.
