There are many books that give us good
stories.
This is a book that also gives us good faith.
Children speak about God in ways that are
different from adults. They ask many questions about God,
questions that can be startlingly direct. Oftentimes
adults—parents, grandparents, and teachers—feel
uncomfortable answering them.
Through fantasy, involvement, and the
imagination, Sandy Sasso and Annette Compton invite children of
all faiths and backgrounds to encounter God openly through
moments in their own lives—and help the adults who love
them to be a part of that encounter. This book provides a gift
of images which nurtures and encourages children in making
meaning of their world.
For those who have found God, and those
who are still searching, this book’s ending is your
beginning. Take a child’s hand, pick up a brush, and
paint!
