My Thoughts
You will find “the book that can read your mind” to be a deceptively simple book with what appears to be pages and pages that look the same. BUT if you give it a chance, you might find yourself amazed at how you will feel as if your mind has been read.
And it’s all done in the choices you make!
Can choices really reveal that much about your decision-making?
I urge you to find a copy and let your children play with the delight of a book knowing what their decisions are. Delight in the magic. Smile along and try again, maybe this time….. 🙂
If you are a person of faith who doesn’t believe in magic, show them the trick of it, and how their decisions matter. Paying attention to those little decisions makes a difference for you and others.
