Corrie ten Boom: Are All of the Watches Safe? by Catherine Mackenzie

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In a world where the heroes that kids look up to are falling all around us, it is important to give them some heroes of the faith to pattern their lives after. Are All Of The Watches Safe? is book 3 in a 6 book series of biographies written for young children ages 4 through 7.

This book about the life of Corrie ten Boom is a shortened version of her full story with the focus on God's ability to watch over His children. It begins with Corrie as a little girl learning about God and ends with her teaching others about God after the war had ended.

I liked being able to introduce my children to a woman of faith in simple terms that allowed them to understand she went through being in prison without scaring them. There is no need to wait to share Corrie's story with them, they can begin to learn about her now!

The simple phrases and illustrations are just right for reading to young children or for 6+ year-olds to read alone.
