Bob Goff has written this book as a follow up to the prior book Love Does and geared this edition towards kids. In brief stories, with child-appropriate images, he explains concepts such as friends are people we trust, how to overcome our fears and that we can get to know people without having to invest significant time by breaking the ice three minutes at a time.
The stories are focused on Christian principles and often refer back to what Jesus had done, drawing parallels between the Bible and our everyday life. For kids, this book is a guidance on how to grow and how they as kids can improve their lives and the lives of the people around them.
It does not take much time to get to know someone, such as a person you see regularly at the bus stop or at the grocery check out. But investing that time, rather than blankly staring at the other person, can be very fulfilling and pave the way to a friendship that can span generations.
While this book is strongly focused on Christianity and lessons from the Bible, it is not religious in a sense that it focuses on interpreting the Bible and the religion a certain way, but rather uses them as a starting to help kids grow as people.
I recommend this book to parents; the stories are the perfect length for bedtime stories or to have your elementary school child read on a regular basis. Find the time to discuss the stories with your kids and see how they feel they can incorporate the principles touches upon in their lives. It will build their self-esteem by showing them that even as kids they can make a difference.
