World Vision Book Review and Giveaway: African Heartbeat

I was asked a few weeks ago by Matthew Paul Turner to review a book on behalf of World Vision. It's a lovely children's book called African Heartbeat written by Barb Christing and illustrated by Phillip Cisneros.

African Heartbeat is a beautiful story about young Katie in America and Neema in Africa. Katie has a desire to go to Africa to meet her sponsor sister Neema and she knows that even though their worlds are “a gazillion steps away,” the world gets smaller as her heart grows larger. Through sponsorship, Katie finds her heart growing larger each day.

You can head over to the World Vision Blog to read the rest of the review.

To enter, just leave a comment letting me know which country your heart beats for or share a story about sponsorship.
