The Princess and the Three Knights- I Want You to Have One

Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway. It is now closed. I'll announce the winner today, 9/19/09

When Zonderkidz contacted me and let me know they were sending me another book to share with you all, I was so excited and waited for it to come in the mail like a little kid.

When The Princess and the Three Knights by Karen Kingsbury arrived in the middle of the afternoon, I knew I wanted to wait to read the story to my own princesses when they came home from school, so I just sat on the living room couch and enjoyed the illustrations over a cup of coffee. I know it sounds cheesy, but the only word I could come up with to describe these pictures was "lovely."

This truly is a beautiful book. I hope it is OK that I snapped some photos of a few pages so you could have a sneak peak:

I just wanted to step into the pages and be in that world for a little bit. The illustrator started out as a muralist. I want to invite her over and have her paint a mural in my house! Think she'll make the trip from Canada to accommodate me? : )

When the girls got home from school, we snuggled up on the couch and read the story together.

The theme of the book comes from 1 Corinthians 13:4,7 "Love always protects."

My friend, Angela, told me her husband "dates" their daughters so they will know how to expect to be treated some day when they are older and looking for love.

I liked reading a story to my girls that reminded them that they are worthy of love that doesn't take from them but gives to them. Love that desires to protect, not to use. I highly recommend this sweet story!

And of course it ends as all good fairy tales do:

Now the fun part! I get to share one of these books with one of you!
