Review: Zion Learns to See by Terence Lester and Zion Lester, illustrated by Subi Bosa
This children’s book is about seeing people through God’s eyes. 1 Samuel 16:7. In this book Zion’s father works to support and help homeless people. Her father is a role model for Zion. She learns to let go of her discomfort and become friendly with people who are homeless.
She watches as her father treats the people he helps with respect and kindness. She sees firsthand that he has a servant’s heart. He sees through their circumstances and sees their humanity, spending time with them and getting to know who they really are despite their circumstances.
Zion Learns to See presents a great lesson and a perfect opportunity to talk with young readers on treating all people with respect and kindness.
