The Good for Nothing Puddle! by Jana Jackson Book Review

 

The Good for Nothing Puddle, written by Jana Jackson is written about sadness and grief and the loss of losing something you love. You ask God for help and you think He isn’t listening to us. We expect the answer to come in a way that we want not God’s ways.

The girl is extremely sad. Her sadness is shown as a big puddle that she can’t get rid of. She prays that God will take her sadness away. While in her puddle she meets a dirty puppy needing help. Next, a farmer who has been out in the sun too long, and then an artist who needs to create her masterpiece. She sees that she can help with those problems thanks to her puddle (experiences). Slowly she learns that the loss has made her grow and something good has come out of it.   

The illustrations aren’t overwhelming and I think that brings out the story. The illustrations start out with little color and as she gets pass the sadness it blossoms into a beautiful full color illustration.

This is a book for a child struggling with sadness and grief. The illustrations can be used in many different types of loss as you see fit to expand upon with the simple words and illustrations.
