Synopsis

Almost all children wonder about God and wish they could see Him. But we don't need to see Him to know what He is like. We need only look around at all the things that are like Him: the warmth of the sun, the strength of the mountains, the nourishment of the rain, the comfort of a parent's loving embrace. Using simple concepts that are understandable to even the very young child, this nondenominational book gently introduces children to the concept of God.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-Originally published in 1953 (Lothrop) and newly illustrated, this is a sweetly eloquent, simply expressed, nondenominational discussion of God. He is as bright as the day and restful as the night, as strength-giving as the sun, as essential as the air we breath, as nourishing as the rain, as protective as the mountains, and as mysterious as the sea. Everything beautiful is a reflection of God, whose love is limitless. Each concept is splendidly illustrated by a realistic, double-page oil painting of a lovely outdoor scene: boys running joyfully through a flowery meadow, frogs resting contentedly on blooming lily pads, kittens frolicking playfully in a grassy field, and swans and cygnets gliding gracefully on a rain-spattered pond. Together, the text and pictures create a mood of serenity, majesty, and beauty.
