Children will enjoy reading Chris and Ryan Richie's novel, which is titled The Ladybug's Gift. This heartwarming story is based on an event that actually occurred, in which three children received a visit from a ladybug one day after the funeral for their mother.

The protagonist of this novel is a ladybug, and you read the book from her point of view. The reader is also reminded during the course of this book that love is the most precious present. In addition, this book is written in brief lines, which helps to keep the attention of younger readers. The illustrations were also wonderful, and I am certain that they would capture the interest of both youngsters and adults. A poem is included at the beginning of the book, and another is included at the very end. After the story, the reader will also have the opportunity to learn about the author's mother, who passed away in 2015.

I thought it was brilliant how the authors incorporated a real-life story into a novel for children, and I enjoyed the message that it conveyed. I also really liked the illustrations, and I thought it was really sweet that the authors took the time to introduce her friends before the narrative began. It was interesting how the author gave each bug its own gift to represent them.

I give this book a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars. There was not a single aspect of it that I did not like. I think the moral of the novel is something that would be beneficial for my kid to learn when he is older, and I hope that he would find solace in the book in the event that I were to pass away. In addition, I enjoyed the illustrations and poems that were included in the book. The fact that I only noticed one mistake leads me to believe the book was edited professionally.

I would recommend this book to children, and I also believe that adults who are grieving the loss of their mother might find consolation in this book as well. This book has a few references to God, and as a result, I believe that Christians would benefit most from reading it.
