My Review

I absolutely loved Baptism & Boomerangs!! It was bright and colorful, eye-catching, with fun illustrations and designs. What made it even better was the story that these pages told of a grandfather teaching two of his grandchildren about what happens after baptism. It's something we don't always think about talking to our children about, but definitely something we should. I loved how using the boomerang made it so easy for my kids to grasp what this book was teaching. It just clicked with them. I also loved how the Australian culture came through in this book. The story definitely made me want to get nice, wooden boomerangs for my children when they're baptized so they can remember the lesson taught here.

If you have a child or know of anyone being baptized soon or who has recently been baptized Baptism & Boomerangs would make an excellent gift. It was a marvelous book and one I plan on reading several more times with my children, as well as sharing with others.

About the Author

Sherrie Gavin was born and raised in upstate New York, USA. Always looking for romance, adventure, and with a love of writing, she travelled to Australia and fell in love with a true Aussie bloke named Bruce. ‘Sruth! They married and began adventuring together, joined by two beautiful daughters who are the loves of their lives. Sherrie has been lucky enough to have contributed to Linda Hoffman Kimball’s Relief Society anthologies and The Exponent II. She also thinks that everyone should try throwing a boomerang at least once.

About the Illustrator

Tatiana Lawton was born in Brisbane, Australia, but was raised up north on the sunny beaches of the Sunshine Coast. She was born with a love for life, art, and storytelling, and her pusuit to study a degree of film and animation came as no surprise to family and friends. Moving back to Brisbane, Tatiana completed her four-year degree. Since finishing her degree, she has been freelancing as an artist, contributing to short films as a concept artist, character designer, and storyboard artist. Tatiana has drawn her inspiration for this book from her Australian heritage and her appreciation for eternal families.
