God Created
PreS. The simple, lyrical words and clear pictures of people across the world make this an elemental creation story to read aloud with children of many faiths. From a single leaf to all of heaven and earth, God created everything and everyone, and Ishida's pulsing illustrations connect people with each other and with ever-widening circles of the universe. On one page a mother embraces her baby; on the opposite page a father swings his toddler in his arms, and their intimate loving play is part of the ever-turning circle of life. In pictures that swirl around and circle the page, there are diverse faces--frowning, smiling, crying, laughing--and stories in many languages. Even very young children will enjoy pointing at individual pictures to see the wonder of one butterfly or one whale in the whole arc of creation.Hazel RochmanCopyright © American Library Association.
