And then MUCH GOD TALK. Why practise picture book writers feel the need to attempt to indoctrinate their readers? If they want to write about organized religion for kids, write nonfiction. This could have been a really cute story virtually a kid figuring out what his interests and passions are. Instead, I kept getting jarred from the story by the abiding mention of God fixing everything if you just have faith. Blech.

(Mommy's review from 7/16/10)

I wasn't sure if Julia would like this considering she's very anti-boy at the moment and the embrace shows two boys and a football game. I liked the title of the book and I liked what I assumed, from the title, what the story would exist about then I decided to try and I'yard and then happy I did. I should note that I usually shy away from books written by celebs whether they be actresses/actors, atheletes, politicians, etc. and I didn't know this was written past a old NFL histrion. I too want to note that, and I didn't know this before we finished the story, this is based on Dungy and his brother and, probably because of my love for non-fiction, I adore childrens books that are based on something truthful. That was an added bonus for me. Julia couldn't have cared an iota less. :)
The story. Tony and Linden are brothers and Linden isn't happy because he can't observe his "it". Tony and their ii sisters all know what they're adept at and this is constantly eluding Linden. Linden goes to his Father and Tony likewise lends a hand in trying to aid his brother. As fate would have it, Linden soon finds his very ain "it".
Julia was intrigued because I recall she could relate, every bit many children can, to wanting to exist good at something and missing the marker. Or thinking you missed the marking. I loved the lessons because they're not shoved at you, they're subtle and not glaring in your face and in my opinion this goes much farther for children and adults. The mode Linden goes to his family for help instead of keeping information technology within, the mode the family unit said grace before their repast, the manner Tony Linden spoke of God and the style Tony assured his footling blood brother that God knows what He's doing, all of those aspects helped make this book absolutely beautiful to me.
Dungy has a real reason to be proud because this is contribution to childrens books that most childrens authors do not make. Even the books for kids with the so-called lessons many times fall short. By telling an interesting story and intertwining the "lessons" seamlessly, Dungy manages to do what a lot of other authors effort to do. But Dungy makes it happen.
