Synopsis

Spanish-language edition of the multiple-award-winning children's book "When God Was a Little Girl". Tell me a story, Daddy ... about when God was a little girl. Susanna s playful request begins a whimsically profound tale woven between father and daughter. Together they retell the familiar story of creation, but with unexpected twists and insightful turns along the way. The exuberant joy of God s creative energy sparkles in this tale that honors both interconnection and diversity. Between the gentle wisdom in the text and the beautiful paintings that accompany it, you may never think about God, creation, or yourself in quite the same way.

About this title

About the Author:

As a freelance theologian (with two graduate degrees in theology), David thinks about God ... all the time. Whether as a father or grandfather, college instructor or Sunday School teacher, poet or writer, he tries to imagine God in ways that are helpful and hopeful. This book is one of those attempts. David and his wife, Margaret, live in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where they have a blended family of five children and seven grandchildren (and probably more to come!). They like keeping close company with creation and have had dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even worms, as pets. Their home, like their life, is fairly cluttered with joy.

Review:

This richly colorful book is insightful and creative, with a powerful message of love for all God s children. --Marilyn McFarlane, author of Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions

This book is brilliant in every sense theologically and artistically! David and Joan have created magical pages that sparkle with sacred truths too deep for words. I nodded and giggled (!) and my heart sang out with the turn of each page. I can t thank you enough. I ll be ordering it for every parent of every little girl (and boy) I know. --Carter Heyward, Professor of Theology at Episcopal Divinity School

I love this book! For me it s truly a God-sighting, a beautifully drawn, winsomely told tale that invites us into deeper relationship with the Divine. --Mary Hess, professor of educational leadership, Luther Seminary
