Title: Guess Why God Made the Rainbow
Author: Karen Ferguson
Series: Questions for Kids, book 3
Major Themes: Bible Stories, Noah’s Flood
Synopsis: A little girl is afraid of thunderstorms—until her grandfather teaches her about the Flood and what the rainbow means to us.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to review a beautiful picture book about Creation, and last year I got to review a sequel, about the Fall, when Adam and Eve sinned. Now, we were given a copy of the third book in the Questions for Kids series, called Guess Why God Made the Rainbow. As with the first two, this one is a gorgeous hardcover picture book.
Publisher’s description:
Come join Lucy and her Papa Joe on another exciting adventure into the Bible, this time going back to Noah’s Ark!
Lucy is afraid of storms. She hides under her covers every time the thunder roars. But Papa Joe calms her fears, and then he has an important question for her, “Do you know what the rainbow means?”
Follow along in this third book in the Questions for Kids series as Papa Joe shows Lucy how God is faithful to protect and keep His promises, even amongst the storms of life.
My thoughts:
I like the way Guess Why God Made the Rainbow begins, with a little girl and her dog, who are both afraid of thunderstorms. Her grandfather followed her into the bedroom where she was hiding under the blankets, and explained, in a way any child can visualize, what the Flood was like, why it happened, and what rainbows mean. I read this book to my 6-year-old, and she seemed to enjoy it. It is simple enough for 3-4-year-olds, as well.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author, and these are my honest thoughts about it.
No warnings!
