K-3
Illustrated by
David Catrow.
In this exuberant companion to When God Made You, two sisters engaged in imaginative play are drawn outdoors by the inviting sunshine. Rhyming text, with occasionally stumbling meter, celebrates various sources of light--from moonlight to fireflies--and suggests that God's light resides in each person. Light and shadow play in Catrow's energetic illustrations, which celebrate the joy of creation and the love of family.

A lively and caring little girl helps others and brings beauty to her world. Rhyming text that can be a mouthful ("'Cause God loves you creating, your true self displaying / when light on the inside through art is portraying") celebrates the wonder of being a unique, dreaming child of God. Catrow's quirky and vibrant illustrations fill the pages with contagious energy.
