My Collection Dianne de Jong

In this story, a little boy is thankful for many of his collections including rocks, butterflies, worms and feathers. However, the little boy comes to realize in the end, that his most valuable collection is his collection of prayers thanking God for all the wonderful things which God has made including him! Dianne's other children's stories include God's Brilliant Shining Star, Where In the World? and God's One Language. Her stories convey a message of showing kindness, love and compassion for all.

"This basic introduction to the idea of gratitude, specifically directed at a creator, makes simple prayers easily accessible for youngsters, especially those who have many collections of their own ... bonus end pages, including a word search in the text and a seek-and-find feature for the images, add an extra incentive for close attention."
