WHERE LIONS ROAR AT NIGHT

 A read aloud book for the whole family to enjoy by Rosie Boom

Where Lions Roar at Night

“This book is a winner! We devoured it as a ‘family read’ in less than a week. Many chores were left undone as my family pleaded for “just one more chapter, Mum!” again and again. We got to know each family member as a close friend, laughing at their antics, sharing their adventures with enthusiasm and their crises with bated breath. This is the captivating, real life story of a Kiwi family that every reader would want to know and be a part of, a family who cares for each other and shares each other’s triumphs and losses. It’s about creativity, making the most of life’s ups and downs, dancing in the puddles (or canoeing in the floodwaters) on rainy days and living the great adventure with whatever’s at hand.
Where Lions Roar at Night is more than the New Zealand family biography that we’ve been longing to read, it’s an inspiration to families and readers of all ages. We can’t wait for the next installment!”  

Jenni Anderson, mother

The Gift of Values~ Volume One

"This book is just fantastic - it is everything I longed for as a young parent. Rosie Boom has produced an outstanding resource for parents. As a young mother, I spent many hours scouring bookshops and parenting magazines for help in creating
family times with our children. I searched for material which taught Christian truths, was inspirational and which captured
the hearts of our youngsters.
This book is what I was looking for. Put together with so much love and care, it will be treasured by parents everywhere.
Rosie's passion for educating children, her mother’s heart and her concern for her children’s character all shine through."

Mary Grant, Co-founder of Parents.Inc. and editor of Parenting Magazine

"The Gift of Values has sparked my joy for teaching character-building devotions to my children, and has injected wonder and enthusiasm into the experience. Here is a tool that will help make these precious times even more memorable, fun-filled, and a real learning adventure. I appreciate the honest, real-life touches throughout the book. 
I'm certain that with the aid of this book, God will draw many little hearts even closer to Him."
Chris Bovill, mother of five and co-ordinator of HEART  (Home Educators Annual Retreat) 

"The Gift of Values ~ Volume One is a valuable resource for parents in their important but often difficult task of bringing up a family and instilling good values into young lives. It is full of practical suggestions and creative ideas, drawing on the wisdom of the past, the author's experience of the present and the teaching of Scripture." 

Dr John Sturt, Counselor, Auckland.

The Gift of Values ~Volume Two

"Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom in your series, The Gift of Values.  I have been struggling with our morning devotions - trying to inspire our six children, who are all different ages, and trying to keep them all interested. Your book really has been an answer to prayer. I feel like God has touched my heart and kissed my forehead."

Joanne Van Vliet, New Zealand

"Well done for writing such a readable, entertaining, honest and challenging book!"

Barbara Jones, New Zealand

"Some would say values are better caught than taught. But both approaches are needed. It respects a child's intellect to explain clearly what generosity is, for instance, and why we should be generous. The Gift of Values is an excellent tool for teaching values. Use it while you also demonstrate consistency in living out those values before your children, and you will effectively pass on Godly values to the next generation." 

Dave & Neta Jackson, authors of the Trailblazer Books and Hero Tales, America

"The artwork, done mostly by the children, is stylized, bold and beautifully colorful. Rosie has re-written the story to song. The accompanying CD perfectly matches the text in the book. The rhythm and pace of the music enhances the mood and creates an extra dimension to the story. Enchanting. Highly recommended." - Jabberwocky Children's Bookshop Review.

"One of the joys of parenting for me was reading to the children. The Happy Prince is an absolute treat." - Grandparent.

"Delightful! My son begs to hear it every night." - Parent.

"Parents from around the world will want to share this very moving story with their children. I give it a 5 - star recommendation." - Jules Riding, N.Z singer/ songwriter.
