An image of a child's drawing and why I chose it.  

The image shows a complete family.

I chose the drawing because it describes a family with father, mother and a child having a good time as a family.
Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.

This piece of word from Harold Hulbert teaches that we should love children even when they do not deserve it whether your own child or another person’s child. It should occur to me that “every child matters” no matter the origin, colour, religion, and tribe, rich or from an average income earning home.

The title of a child's book I love and what I love about it.

BOOK TITLE:   THE HUNGRY CATERPILLAR

The caterpillar undergoes a journey from egg to butterfly, symbolizing the human development. Under the pressures of modern society, the caterpillar is faced with many different options, and expected to make life changing decisions in very little time. The caterpillar seems a bit frantic, trying all these foods in hopes of finding the right one. He tries many different options, and then he transforms-after a little time and a lots of effort-into a butterfly.

The author makes a point of telling the reader that the caterpillar popped from his egg on a Sunday. This is, of course, the Sabbath, traditionally a day of rest and prayer. The religious symbolism continues when we are told that the caterpillar, on Monday, begins his gluttonous binge with a red apple, conjuring images of the Garden of Eden, Adams expulsion from the Garden of Eden and a loss of innocence. Rather than simply having one bite of the apple,  the Caterpillar  “eats through” the entire apple. The story is a message that straying from the path of righteousness can lead you further and further down to road of sin.
