- Reading
- Read together and pause after the Bible-time scenes to connect what Daisy observes with the lessons named in the story. The ending and how the stories resolve are not clear.
- Themes
- Forgiveness in Daisy’s life: Daisy watches Jesus meet Zacchaeus and then learns about forgiveness in her own life. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Care and giving: Worried that her handmade present may not be good enough, Daisy observes people giving money at the Temple and learns that Jesus values the love behind gifts. The story clearly affirms the importance of loving intention over the apparent worth of a gift.
- Worth knowing
- Christian belief is central: Daisy travels to Bible times and watches Jesus. Consider whether this faith-based framing fits the kind of story your family wants to read together.
