"Thank you God, Thank, Thank you God!" The Hip Hop Praise Circle is a book about 6 children who go through struggles that children today can relate to. The children tell their stories about the joy of having a family, tackling their fears, overcoming sickness, and more. Although the children are going through different problems, there is one thing that they all have in common... God! God is the answer to all of their problems and they welcome children everywhere to join them as they praise God.
Robert E.O. Crewe has written a winner with The Hip Hop Praise Circle (Volume 1): Thank You God. At just 54 pages, it seems like it packs in a whole lot more praise than that. Focused on children, this is a picture book depicting six kids who, despite their struggles, praise God every day. Unique to this book is the theme of it being a club and having a theme song, “Thank You God.” This gives the book two dimensions whereby it can be used for younger kids for the singing part and middle readers for the reading part plus the singing. The age range for this book is 5-10. Offered in the back of the book is a seek-and-find activity to do, a place where kids can journal, a list where young readers can list things they’re grateful for, a crossword puzzle, and a coloring opportunity. This makes the book very dynamic and interactive.
I completely loved reading The Hip Hop Praise Circle (Volume 1): Thank You God by Robert E.O. Crewe. It was unique, fun, and engaging for young readers. Any time kids get a chance to sing, they’re more likely to engage and the praise song provided in this book will help them develop their appreciation for and relationship with God. The Hip Hop Praise Circle is a unique opportunity for young children to get their praise on. Crewe has created a multi-level, multi-activity opportunity for kids to praise God in The Hip Hop Praise Circle (Volume I): Thank You God.
