*God Paints the World

I like everything in the book about color and Creation that God made.

It is about how God loves His World and us.

I recommend this book as a read-aloud book or for a kid who is learning how to read. – Emily (8)

*God Loves the World 

I like that God loves us all, no matter who we are. No matter who our family is, whether we’re short or tall, or where we live, God still loves us.

I wasn’t sure about “Some are round, and some are thin.”  But overall, I liked it because God really does love His world!

I would recommend this book to early readers or kids who have just started to read. – Melody (10)

Author Gary Bower fell in love with picture books at an early age, while sitting in his mother’s lap. As a youngster, he entertained himself for hours by writing his own stories, jokes, poems, and skits. As an adult, his years of professional and volunteer experience ministering to children and teens, combined with thousands of story nights with his twelve children, have helped him polish his storytelling skills.

Illustrator Tracy Cottingham is happiest when creating pictures and patterns. After finishing her art degree, she began to sell her art for greeting cards and textiles, but creating illustrations for books is her ultimate joy. She can usually be found working at her desk, sipping coffee, and chewing on gummy candy. Tracy lives and works in London.
