Reseña del libro "Samuel, Samuel (en Inglés)"
Every child has wondered, at least once, if they're the only one who feels different. Samuel's diary says: you're not - and you were called by name before you even knew Who was calling.Samuel is nine. He loves trains, keeps a smooth blue rock in his pocket for the hard days, and would rather write down what he's feeling than say it out loud. So when the school year gets loud, lonely, and confusing - a cafeteria that's too much, a lunch table where nobody saves him a seat, a classmate who isn't kind yet - he writes about it. Diary entry by diary entry, in his own words, exactly as a real nine-year-old would.Then one ordinary evening on the porch, Grandma Gladys hands him her Bible and tells him something he never knew: there's another Samuel in there. A boy who heard God call his name in the middle of the night, got it wrong three times in a row - and got picked anyway."He got it wrong THREE TIMES and God still picked him "That question changes everything about how Samuel sees the rest of his year - his friendships with Tess, Ruby, and Leo, his shifting friendship with Marcus, and the moment he finally understands what his own name means.Samuel, Samuel: A Story for Every Child Who's Ever Felt Different is a diary-style devotional for kids ages 8-12, written for any child who has ever felt too different, too much, too quiet, or too unseen - whether that's because of autism, a disability, or simply being wired differently than the kids around them. Each entry pairs a page from Samuel's real life with a King James Version scripture and a plain-language reflection a child can actually understand, plus six "Your Turn" pages where readers can write or draw their own answer to the question Samuel is asking all book long: who am I, really?Inside this book: 35+ dated diary entries in an authentic kid's voiceScripture (KJV) with a simple, honest paraphrase for young readersSix interactive "Your Turn" pages - write it or draw it, either way counts"A Word From Home," a personal note from the author's husband - a grandfather, mentor, JROTC instructor, and retired Army Sergeant Major - on what it felt like to grow up different and never ask whyA closing note for grown-ups and a closing note for kidsWhether your child feels different because of autism, a disability, a move, a stutter, a love of something nobody else loves - or just because - this book hands them the same answer Samuel found: God knows your name.
