From the CHRISTIAN LIBRARY REVIEW: Tessa’s Treasures by Gary Bower, illustrated byJan Bower, is as warm as cocoa on a rainy day. The theme of friendship is set off by itsluminescent illustrations. First in the Thinking of Others series, the Bowers have caught the innocence and intensity of childhood well, weaving in the gentle message of how valuable and precious friendship truly is. The author states: "My goal in writing Tessa’s Treasures was to emphasize this basic truth: people are more precious than things." This goal is achieved. As Tessa discovers this very truth with joy and delight, readers will also realize the importance and value of friendship. In Wyatt’s Wagon the theme of including othersis treated with the same amount of warmth and innocence as Wyatt demonstrates gallantly through his wagon and his grandfather’s generosity that there is always a way to makeroom. The Bowers combine their talents successfully with Jan’s paintings complementing Gary’s text. Adults will undoubtedly be asked to read the Bowers’ books again and again. Loving family bonds and the strong ties of friendship resound through the text and illustrations, a reflection of the Bower family’s commitment to one another. Parents, Sunday School teachers, and caregivers alike will want to add the Bowers’ books to their collection. Extensive author notes with the inclusion of reader questions contribute to the take-away charm. ~ Pam Webb, School Library Technician, Sandpoint, Idaho
