Author Ren R. Royal's Book Review of "Katrina: Growing Wings" "Katrina: Growing Wings" by Tawnya Bulger is a heart-warming children's book with a wonderful message to children of all ages, even the young at heart. This book parallels with a Bible verse transmitting not only a cute, sweet story, but also a biblical lesson - that in the struggling circumstances of life we may want to wriggle and squirm with impatience and give up; however, God can use us during these times to make us stronger, that we may too, grow wings. This book is a beautiful illustration of God's love and hope - a great book for parents, sunday school, teachers, and many more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!

This is a great and inspiring story that can be appreciated and enjoyed by children of all ages. I had the pleasure of hearing the author's "story behind the story" in person and can definitely say that she's as inspiring as her story.

5.0 out of 5 stars We are in the cocoon now.

I'm reviewing this book during the time of the Covid 19 crisis. When reading about Katrina, I thought about all of us being told to stay away from each other (social distancing). We are blanketed in our homes waiting- waiting for life outside of this dark nightmare. We are waiting for our cocoons to break open. When this is all over, we will experience life in a whole new way from a whole new perspective- just like Katrina did.

This book could be read in many different settings and have meaning. I just though that my perspective now is probably different than it would have been 2 months ago. We all have cocoon times in life- times when we feel we are in darkness and struggling to understand why. I highly recommend this book. Children will love it and I certainly identify with it.
