“Every child should know they are beautiful, for they are God’s masterpiece. The most priceless treasure at the bottom of the sea cannot match the value that God gives His children. The author said the most expensive jewels can’t compare with your value because that’s how much God loves you. His love is wider than the sky, higher than any airplane. This is a great book for every little princess. I highly recommend this book for every home with a little girl and including yourself because God loves you.”
