Sometimes I Need To Be Patient

Patience is a hard-earned virtue learned through everyday life lessons. Now, author Katie Kenny Phillips makes teaching patience a little easier with Sometimes I Need To Be Patient—a board book that shows young girls how waiting patiently can be rewarding.

The pink hardcover board book features a little brown-haired girl surrounded by white daises patiently seated on the bright pink letters of the title.

The interior laminated board book pages are filled with fun illustrations by Annabelle Grobler and printed in full colour. The book begins and ends with two Scripture verses that can be used for Scripture memory:

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer - Romans 12:12

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience - Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

Inside the board book, seven mini-stories touch on everyday situations where children need to learn to wait, and each story promises a fun reward for mastering this skill.

Give your daughter or granddaughter some practical examples of waiting patiently when you read Sometimes I Need To Wait for storytime. The Sometimes I Need To Wait Board Book also makes a great addition to a school or Sunday school classroom library and can be wrapped as a teacher gift.
