Wonderfully Made

by Joyce Meyer

Overview

The popular Everyday Zoo series for young children by beloved and bestselling author Joyce Meyer continues with Wonderfully Made, a heartfelt and humorous story about Hayley Hippo finding her own unique talent and discovering she’s perfect in God’s eyes. Inspired by Meyer’s adult book 21 Ways of Finding Peace and Happiness, and brought to life with playful illustrations by Mary Sullivan, this third installment of the Everyday Zoo series focuses on a talent show. Hayley Hippo is excited to enter, but has trouble finding the right talent. She looks for inspiration from her friends and their acts—Squirt the seal and his spinning ball, Boyd’s magic act, and Midge and Pidge’s ice skating routine—but none seem to be the right fit for Hayley. Through a series of comical mishaps Hayley ends up discovering that God has given us all unique gifts he wants us to share with the world.

Editorial Reviews

09/01/2013
K-Gr 2—This third installment in the series depicts the adorable, whimsical, wide-eyed, humanized zoo animals preparing for a talent show. Everyone, it seems, is endowed with a special apptitude except Hayley the Hippo. Friends offer support by telling her that she just has to find the talent God has given her. When Hayley, dressed in her polka-dot outfit, visits them, she uses her camera to capture their images as they practice for the event. Her attempts to replicate some of the acts she witnesses fail miserably. She can't flip a ball in the air like Squirt the Seal and breaks a lamp instead. Unlike Boyd, a giraffe, her magic act goes awry. Ice skating with Midge and Pidge, swan twins, ends in disaster. The hippo thinks God has forgotten to give her a talent, but it is right under her nose. She gets a standing ovation when, with the encouragement of her friends, she showcases her prints and realizes that she has been blessed with a flair for photography and with good friends. Illustrations in pastel colors fill the pages and entertain reader as they learn from this spiritual story.—Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX
