I received "Smack Dab in the Middle of God's Love" by Brennan Manning (e-book) for free from http://www.booksneeze.com/. Smack Dab is a children's book of about 2nd grade reading level and interest level. However, it is such a sweet story it could easily be read by an adult as a short story with pictures. Smack Dab is the story of a middle age couple with no children who sort of adopt the neighborhood children. The children come every evening for sopapillas. While they are there Willie Juan asks them life's questions. At this particular visit he asks them, "what do you think Abba will ask you when you get to heaven?" The story is the children's answers and their discussion.
This is a really sweet, feel-good story. I read it to my 6 year old daughter, but since she doesn't really like the kindle she didn't pay attention. (she very much prefers real books.) The pictures are good, there is some multi-culture qualities, and cross generational issues. Good book, should have gotten the real book though instead of the e-book.
