About the Author
Rick Schmitz is a Beloved Child of God, a husband, father and grandfather. He is also the pastor of the amazing family of Westwoods Community Church in Lakewood Colorado.
His hope for this book is to help his grandkids (and others) reject the small vision for life that this world offers and instead, see with big, open and receptive eyes the BIG vision that God has for their lives AND every moment of their days.
Personalized Books
Research shows that personalized books, where children encounter their own names in the story, can enhance reading engagement, comprehension, and self-esteem. A 2014 study in Educational Psychology found that children connect more deeply with stories featuring familiar elements like their names, leading to better recall and understanding. Similarly, a 2017 University of Sussex study revealed that personalized texts improve vocabulary acquisition, as associating new words with their own identity strengthens retention.
