“When will the forgetful prince remember who he is? And who will show him? In the tradition of children's classics like Where the Wild Things Are, The Forgetful Prince is as powerful as it is simple. The prince may be forgetful, but young readers will not forget his story - nor the striking illustrations that accompany it.”
“In Matt Redmond’s whimsical tale, things are not as they appear - or feel - to Atticus. It can be the same for us, in our big and little lives. Join Atticus on his colourful quest as he meets unlikely friends who lead him - and us - to treasure, truth - and The King!
The Forgetful Prince is an engaging and imaginative story you’re sure to enjoy reading together. But it’s also a story that teaches. And I think stories that can do both those things are the best stories of all.”
“There is nothing more magnificent than the gospel message, and we must not tire of telling it. What better way than with story? The Forgetful Prince captures the essence and beauty of the gospel in a heart-warming and child-friendly way. I look forward to reading it with children- for their edification and mine.”
“Our children's self-worth can be so easily eroded by the cacophony of messaging they are inevitably exposed to in our digital world. The Forgetful Prince is the endearing and gentle story of a child's journey from self-doubt to the comfort of true belonging with a heavenly father. In a world where identity can be 'up for grabs', this is an important and hope-filled message.”
“I imagine this little book being read by a parent to their son at bedtime, and I can see a boy sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face. And then I catch myself and remember, this is my story too! So like all good books for children, Matt’s words speak truth that also finds its way into the hearts of adults who pause long enough to listen.”
"In a world so obsessed with identity, it's wonderful to have a book that helps my young girls remember who they are in Jesus and why that is - because God has brought them into his family. I pray this will be a foundational truth for my girls, and all the children who read this – that it might shape them as they grow and help them to live lives that bring him glory. "
“Doing my best to taste this through a child's eyes, I was captivated by the colours, enchanted by the pictures, and drawn into the rich magic of the story. What a delicious package of visual sensations, mild suspense, poetry, and the astonishing truth of our Father's invitation into the Royal Family.”
“As we bring our children up to know and love Jesus, we need to teach and remind them of their identity in Christ. That in Christ, they are precious, loved and a part of a Kingdom that endures forever. The Forgetful Prince is a great reminder of these truths for our children! Matt has done a fantastic job of exploring these deep biblical themes in a way that is age appropriate and fun for us all! This book will be a great resource for Christian parents, Schools and Churches as they seek to grow mature disciples of Christ.”
“What a joy to read. Matt’s sweet story of Atticus beautifully captures the beauty of the gospel, and reading it is like taking a short but engaging journey that will delight and refresh the soul. The journey is made all the sweeter with Lauren’s illustrations of whimsical characters with their gorgeous hues. Your kids will love it…and you will too.”
“‘Who Am I’? The question of identity is fundamental for us all. The Forgetful Prince is a beautifully crafted and illustrated story that leads Atticus to discover a precious, life changing, biblical truth. Young and old alike, we need to be reminded often of who we are in Christ.”
“Exposure to rhyme helps children develop listening, thinking, comprehension and vocabulary skills as they recognise rhythms and patterns…and books like this are great fun to read! Matt has written a beautiful tale that points to the amazing truth that we are not “ordinary” but sometimes forget who we really are.“
“In his wonderful children’s tale The Forgetful Prince, author Matthew Redmond reminds young readers of how loved and cherished they are by God – even though (perhaps like most of us), they may at times not recognise their special status as God’s children.”
“What and where are the treasures our Father holds out for us from his heavenly kingdom? In his bedtime story Matt Redmond delightfully captures this well with euphonic verse and a clearly defined structure that uncovers the goodness of God towards his children. Highly recommended.”
“What a delightful story! The frequent repetition remind one of the pattern of The Tree Bears, ever popular with children. The author originally wrote for his son, Atticus, but children can easily treat it as their own. As they do, they can learn the vital truth that they are a prince (and princess), the sons (and daughters) of a King who is their heavenly Father.”
“'The Forgetful Prince' is a true gem, a tale spun with the magic of Matt's words and brought to life by the enchanting illustrations of my talented daughter-in-law, Lauren. It's a delightful journey of self-discovery that feels like a warm hug from our favourite bedtime stories. Bravo to this dynamic duo for creating a treasure that captivates young hearts and old alike. As a mum and their biggest fan, I couldn't be prouder!”
