Booksneeze Review: Eat Your Peas Daughter by Cheryl and Mom Karpen

*I received this book for free through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program in exchange for my unbiased review.

This is an adorable book that takes 5 minutes or less to read. The cover is bright pink and yellow, and screams "pick me up!"

Just like the subtitle says, "A little wisdom and a lasting promise!" this book looks to be a great way to communicate to your daughter what she means to you.

Each two page layout features simple yet pretty artwork by Sandy Fougner. And a simple message, usually a couple of sentences long, written in beautiful script-style font.

A few of my favorite pages include messages like "May I always know when to give you room to wander and wings to fly," "Life is filled with choices. Choose carefully," or "Whether on the sidelines or in my heart, I will always be the one cheering the loudest for you."

The back of the book has a few pages for explaining the reason the author originally wrote the series. The "Eat Your Peas" collection includes the following titles:
Eat Your Peas for Mom
Eat Your Peas Faithfully
Eat Your Peas Girlfriend
Eat Your Peas Faithfully, Love Mom
Eat Your Peas for Young Adults

I could imagine giving this book, or others in the collection as gifts to special people in my life. It is a sweet little book that anyone would enjoy receiving.

I especially appreciated the artwork and cute fonts the sentiments were written in.
