Everything Has a Purpose – My Book Review

Marlene M. Bell has created another charming children’s book. Mia and Nattie relates the story of a young small lamb named Nattie who has a crooked horn needing to find a place in the world. Mia takes it upon herself to save Nattie and find a purpose for this young lamb on her Grandmother’s farm.

One of the true essences of this children’s book is that everything does have a purpose in this life and sometimes it just needs helping in finding that purpose. It is also a story about determination and showing that friends can come in all forms. I also found that Mia and Nattie additionally relates that adults do indeed listen to kids.

Grace Sandford illustrated the book charmingly. The colors and drawings complement this story splendidly.

I read the book silently and then out loud to see how the story would carry if one were reading it to a child or to a group of children. With each section of words, they flowed like an unwavering breeze. This book is perfect for kids ages three to six.

At the end of the book, readers find out that the story is based on a true story! How marvelous is that? Making it a book I adore even more.
