This
is sweet story about a married couple in Mexico who have no children of their
own. They choose to share the love in
their hearts with the children who live in their village. The children are invited into Willie Juan and
Ana’s home where the adults spend time and listen to what the children have to
say.
The
focus of the story is how the children reply to Willie Juan’s question about what”…Abba
will ask you…” when they get to heaven.
Each child has a different answer, of course. Some struggle with God’s love for them. Willie Juan and Ana are a living example to
the children of God’s love for each of them.
This
is a really good story. I read it to my
4 and 5 year old sons and my 3 year old niece.
While they enjoyed the pictures, I think they didn’t really get the
point of the story. So I would recommend
it for older children; we will try it again in a couple of years.
Sopapillas
are mentioned throughout the story. For
