The “O” in Hope by Luci Shaw, Illustrated by Ned Bustard
Today I am reading a children’s book, The “O” in Hope by Luci Shaw, Illustrated by Ned Bustard (2021, InterVarsity Press; Downers Grove, IL).
Thought it would be good to mention for National Poetry Month. The book is beautiful, and we have shared a few gift copies.
You can learn more at Luci Shaw The Official Website.
