About The Book: Softcover / 230 pages

Picture
Every day, one of Amy Julie Becker’s children says something that prompts her to think about life in a new way. “Mom, does Santa love me?” William asks, after his mother explains the meaning of Christmas…In a chat with her dad about the children who died in the Sandy Hook shootings, Penny asks, “Did they go to heaven?” …”You was a jerk, Mommy?” asks Marilee one morning in the car.
These conversations deepen Amy Julia’s relationships with her children, but they also refine her understanding of what she believes and what God is doing in her own life.
In Small Talk, Amy Julia draws from the wisdom and curiosity of those young voices to reflect on beauty and kindness, tragedy and disability, prayer and miracles. As she moves through the basic questions her kids posed when they were very young to the more intellectual questions of later childhood, she invites us to learn from our own day-to-day conversations with the children in our lives.
This eloquent parenting memoir is about the big questions little hearts ask, the thoughts their words provoke, and the laughter and soul-searching their honesty brings—to adult and child alike.

My Review:

I recently had the opportunity to review a wonderful book called Small Talk:Learning From My Children about What Matters Most by Amy Julie Becker I was really excited about it and could not wait to read it.
A lot of my readers know I am a widow and a mother of a very hyper/autistic little girl.She is constantly keeping me busy.I am amazed of what things my little girl teaches me every day.
I just loved this book it was a great read. I would recommend it for any parents who are just like me and feels like they are not doing enough for their children and feeling overwhelmed by daily life. This book is very encouraging,moving and uplifting.My little teaches me very important lessons in my life.This book points out how we can all learn from our children in a very big way.
