Every Breath, Every Blessing is about some of the truths regarding God and His love for us. Throughout this book, kids learn how their life is a blessing and how others care for us and we can help others. This book would be a great gift for a loved one to give to a child in their life.
"Of the millions and billions of people across the world, you are a one-of-kind design created in love by the Giver of Breath."
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This beautifully illustrated picture book encourages children to find hope and peace even when life is hard. The text is written in first-person, from the perspective of a parent or another loved one who is encouraging a child. The book affirms the child's value, encourages them find hope and peace in the midst of life's challenges, and highlights the importance of family relationships and friendship.
The book also mentions God's presence, but it only mentions God in passing, without any emphasis on this. People who are looking for a distinctly Christian perspective are likely to be disappointed, since this book misses opportunities to talk more about faith. Nonetheless, this sweet, gentle book will appeal to parents who are looking for general life advice and reassurance to share with their children.

A Great Introduction to Begin Conversations with Kids about Grief and Feelings
Every Breath, Every Blessing: Finding Hope on Tough Days came just at the right time as our family has been dealing with the loss of two friends in the past month. This beautiful book features children from diverse backgrounds caring for one another and shows examples of healthy ways kids can be mindful of their own emotions and respond in calm ways. I like how the book leaves room for unanswered questions and how parents can provide the gift of a listening presence. A great book to use to help children begin to process their feelings and grief during difficult times.

My daughter and I really loved this book! The words were beautiful and lovely. The illustrations were very well-done. Highly highly recommend!

Sweetly lyrical text and glowing illustrations highlight this encouraging book. With gentle reminders, it reassures little ones that they are never alone and that there is hope in hard times. Perfect for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to share with the littles they love.

Calm and Encouraging. A million stars to this story 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
A beautifully written and illustrated story with a powerful message. We know that our kids have so many things in life that may challenge and upset them. This book is made for our little ones. The messages are clear that God is always with us. Even in each part of our day and the trials we may face. That we can handle the problems, and we will be okay. Sometimes that is the hardest part of being upset or discouraged is believing it will soon be okay. I think it's a message every child needs to hear.
There are several thoughts that are shared with us like letting them know they can always come to us with their feelings, thoughts & more. Also, that others can help us and we can give back the kindness in return. I also love, the stunning illustrations, they share the calm feeling of the story. I love the diversity of the story, everyone is included.
This book was so wonderful. We love the calm feeling we get from the story. The simple but emotion filled text. It really points out that with every breath comes many blessings.
Cherish these thoughts and this story together with your little ones. Breathe in and out together.

Sweet little book about navigating anxiety and fear. Wonderful illustrations!
Although it’s technically a Christian book, it felt religiously ambiguous (used terms like “Giver of life”) and didn’t contain any scriptural text, which may be a + or -, depending on the reader.
This book is marketed as somewhat of a guide for little kids on finding hope on tough days. I think there is some of that present in this book; however, this book flows more like a love letter of encouragement from a parent/guardian to their young child.
I think this book could be good for very young children that are experiencing fear and anxiety about what might happen/what they see in the world—but, I think it is overly simplistic and a bit too saccharine for any children who have actually experienced significant tragedy, loss or trauma.

Every Breath, Every Blessing reminded the reader to stay calm during the storms in life. Things will happen but remember to just breath in and breath out. Very soothing to my spirit.

What beautiful and tear-jerking childrens book! This book was so incredibly sweet and so so true! Every child needs to read this book! With faith-filled truths and stunning imagery, this story is sure to touch hearts!

In a world full of uncertainty, Every Breath, Every Blessing reminds children that they are never alone. Through lyrical text and beautiful art, this inspiring picture book gives parents, grandparents, and educators a way to connect with children and encourage them that even during the changes and challenges of life, hope can be found through friendship, family, and the reassuring presence of God.

This children’s book isn’t yet published but an arc was sent to me by Net Galley. I read and finished today. It is a beautiful children’s book reaching out to children to take a day at a time. To breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in blessings, breathe out blessings. Because we don’t have control over everything but we have control over ourselves and we can do good and do the right things. Recommend for all children. Thank you to Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review.

This is such a cute book that would be an amazing read aloud story for a class! A reminder to take a deep breath and you can do amazing things! I would personally buy a copy of this book to read to my kids or even gift to a cousin or niece.
I loved the illustrations too!

"Every Breath, Every Blessing" is a children's picture book. The story followed different children and covered dealing with tough days and giving thanks for being alive. When storms come, your parents will be there for you to talk to or just be with and they'll pray for you. We can help others in bad times (like cleaning up after a bad storm). When at school, children need to follow instructions during an emergency and learn the drill. Just take one day at a time.
The text is spoken as "I" and seems to be a parent giving advice to the child. There's a brief mention of the Giver of Breath (not specifically God or Jesus) who made us a unique and blessed us with life, but the book focused on looking to your family for a sense of security and love. The illustrations were watercolor style and realistic looking, giving a context for the words. The children have a variety of looks and included a disable child in a wheelchair.
I'm looking for a book reassuring children that a good, powerful God is always with them, but I'll have to keep looking. This book seems most suited to parents who want to reassure their child of their love and support but don't feel confident about what to say.
"You can't always control what others may do, but you can do this: Breathe in--you can control yourself. Breathe out--do the next right thing."

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
A great reminder to take deep breathes and to take every day and moment at a time. Also that we are loved.

A beautiful story with lovely illustrations. I received a complimentary e-copy of this book and read it with pleasure. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Zonderkidz and NetGalley.

Thanks to NetGalley and Zonderkidz for the ARC! This was a cute book to showcase the love of a parent to a child. The parent is explaining the child's life is a gift and to cherish the time we have on this Earth. I liked the part where the parent explained new situations for the child to expect when the parent can't be there. The illustrations were good! Inclusion was a big part of this boom as well.
