‘God Loves You So Much…’ Wins Royal Dragonfly Book Award

“Beautiful rhyming text and vibrant photographs are perfect for engaging children in early reading activities. Finally, a spiritually based book that provides appropriate level text for even the youngest of readers!” — Kathleen J. Reppen, M.A. in Education, St. Mary’s University, Elementary Teacher

MOUNT HOREB, Wisc., April 25, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ — “God Loves You So Much…” received 1st place in the Children’s Picture Books – 5 & Younger category at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards, which recognizes excellence in literature.

“Winning the Royal Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor because, in order to maintain the integrity of the Dragonfly Book Awards, a minimum score is required before a 1st or 2nd place or Honorable Mention will be awarded,” explains Linda Radke, president of Five Star Publications, the sponsor of the Dragonfly Book Awards. “Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print.”

“God Loves You So Much…” was developed by Learn As You Grow to highlight early literacy concepts and the intimate connection between God’s love and God’s creation.

As explained by Pastor Kari Vadis, “God’s love is first experienced through the love a child receives from their parents. As a Youth & Family Ministry Pastor, I am always looking for resources that help parents introduce their children to a very loving and real God. ‘God Loves You So Much…’ captures the love of God and the parent’s love in a powerful way that is perfect for the youngest babies all the way through the early readers in your life.”

A complete list of winners for each category in the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards can be found at www.FiveStarBookAwards.com. “God Loves You So Much…” is available at bookstores and www.learnasyougrow.com.

 Learn As You Grow, LLC provides quality educational materials and entertainment options that help children learn as they grow in faith. God Loves You So Much… is an excellent example of this approach applied to early literacy.

 Many literacy skills are important to develop at an early age. These include:

           •       Recognizing that pictures in books convey messages

          •        Knowing that print has meaning

          •        Recognizing the value of reading

          •        Learning that print moves left to right & top to bottom

          •        Understanding pages turn from right to left

          •        Identifying uppercase and lowercase letters

          •        Associating sounds to each letter

          •        Recognizing beginning sounds in a word

          •        Identifying ending sounds (rhyming words)

Parents and caregivers can begin working on these concepts in fun and playful ways shortly after birth.  God Loves You So Much… is designed to highlight these early literacy concepts and facilitate development of these skills.

My 4 year old received this book as a Christmas gift this year. He reads the book to me every night. This is the first book he has been able to do this with. He recognizes the words now and has become familiar with the photos that he is now able to read to me. Great job! I can only say wonderful things about this book. Also, what a spiritual way to end each day with my children. This book teaches and reminds them the great things that God has given us and that he loves them each and every day. Thank you for your hardwork and congratulations on your achievement.
