Katydidn't by Colleen Reece

Come read the story of the seven Witherspoon children, and how Katy discovered the secret of the katydids, in Katydidn’t by Colleen Reece.

The Witherspoon children love life on their little farm. Six out of the seven children are spending the summer doing things they love. But not Katy. She doesn’t want to do the things that her brothers and sisters are doing. She’s sad and lonely. Until one day, she remembers how Jesus tells us to treat others the way we want to be treated. Praying to be different, Katy finally discovers the secret of what the katydids sing to lull her family to sleep each night.

Everything about this book is beautiful.  From the stunning cover art to the touching and memorable story inside, from the meaningful lesson the book shares to the how artist K.C. Snider brought the Witherspoon family and their farm to life, there is so much to love in this story.

Getting along can be difficult for children. The perfect blend of flowing prose, nature, and Biblical wisdom will  find your child picking up this book time and again.  The leaf accents that adorn the front cover can also be found on the first page that shares the story of the katydids, and on some of the other inside pages, tying all the elements together.

This book is one that I will definitely consider adding to our Sunday school classroom. Katydidn’t is a touching story with a meaningful lesson that you and your child can both enjoy.
