About God’s Paintbrush
Through fantasy, involvement and the
imagination, God’s Paintbrush invites children of all faiths and
backgrounds to encounter God openly through moments in their
own lives—and helps the adults who love them to be a part
of that interactive encounter. This book provides a gift of
images that nurture and encourage children in making meaning of
their world.
