Why Do We Sing? by Miranda Nerland
3.0

This book details all the reasons why Christians should sing together and learn lessons and tell stories through song. Singing together helps us to worship God and thank Him for His blessings to us. Songs about God's goodness and power can make people more courageous and happy. Sharing our joy through music can comfort people who are sad.

I love how this book takes big spiritual ideas, and puts them into simple language that a child can understand. It also explains ways that even a small child can participate in singing to praise God, whether in a group or all alone.

The illustrations have a quirky style that I like. The watercolor art is bright and fun, and the designs are simple enough to capture the attention of a child. However, the book is very text-heavy for a children's picture book. It would be more appealing to children if there were more illustrations.

I love that the text includes Bible references to particular verses that talk about worship and singing.
