Thanks for reading and you can link of with me on the following links. To help design a character in her upcoming book, email her at you can link up with her at the following links Look for her upcoming series on what the Bible has to say about feelings in August of 2015. With the exception of Jaden Goes to Foster Care, each book is designed to use the Bible to help both children and adults understand the biblical basis for why Christians do what they do. Come join them as they bring to life 1 John 3:11, 16-18 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a & 13 in a way that is easy for children to understand. In the story, twins Kar’Leigh and Kar’Moni have just learned what the Bible says about love. The idea for her first book, Why We Give Gifts at Christmas Time, was placed in her heart many years ago and since its publishing Corine has published several other books including: What Is Love, My Journey with Jesus Christ, Jaden Goes to Foster Care, (see my review here) and Why I Give. What is Love is a Bible based picture book that is designed to help children understand what love is. Currently, she lives in Baltimore, MD where she has opened her home to children without families by becoming a foster parent. With great illustrations, and following a series of books by Hyman, I love the content of the book and think the title needs work!Ĭorine Hyman is a clinical psychologist who has helped families for close to 10 years. Even though we are all children of God, someone who has never read the Bible could interpret this title to say “not me” I know that isn’t what Hyman wanted or is saying. This is the only thing I do not like about the book. Teaching Christ’s Children about Feeling Angry, while the title implies it is for Christians only, gives extremely great common advice for anyone. TJ’s appearance, Pontillas said, was based on two of his friends’ children.Teaching Christs Children about Feeling Angry is written from a child’s point of view, which makes it oh so much easier to be able to say “let’s read this” Hyman brings practical daily use, Bible Verses and an easy to read format to help children understand that being angry is okay, sinning while we are angry is not. Pontillas wrote on Instagram that he collaborated with Louis Mitchell, Sesame Workshop’s creative director of character design, on the character. The character of TJ is voiced by puppeteer and performer Yinan Shentu and created in part by Bobby Pontillas, a Filipino American animator. It’s a language my Filipino family speaks and I have confidence because I can always ask my lola for help when I don’t know a word,” TJ says. And when Penn shares with TJ and Ji-Young that he leans on others when he doesn’t feel confident, TJ opens up about his own experiences. She grew up watching 'Sesame Street.' Then she made history as the show's first Black female puppeteerĬonfidence, Penn explained, is “when you believe in yourself and your abilities, or in the abilities of others.” TJ marvels at Grover’s confidence as he attempts to jump over the Sesame Street sign while riding a unicycle and balancing a tall stack of books.
