Synopsis: Colorful pictures filled with cheerful activity help children to understand God’s love.
I’m a sucker for picture books that are offered for review. Since I still have little girls in my house who love to have stories read to them, I always have an appreciative audience. My four-year-old was delighted a few days ago when I read What Color is God’s Love? to her.
Publisher’s description:
This playful rhyming picture book invites young readers to discover all the ways God’s love can be displayed through a rainbow of colors.
All the colors displayed in this world that God made—every glorious, fabulous, beautiful shade—show how good God is and will always be. But what is the color of love? Come and see!
In What Color is God’s Love?, a little girl and her service dog join their diverse friends through a whirlwind of adventures. As they celebrate the spectacular spectrum of colors God designed, each color invites readers to explore their God-given emotions and becomes a reminder of God’s unchanging character. While encouraging children to acknowledge God’s constant presence with every turn of the page, What Color is God’s Love? also empowers children, with and without disabilities, to play, work, and serve God together, by simply letting the colors of His love shine through them. With each turn of the page, the focus shifts to a specific color—orange, yellow, blue, green, pink, black, white, gray, brown, red, purple. Each lyrical rhyme invites readers to engage with God through empowering and faith-building truth statements that incite worship and encourage a lifestyle of loving God and neighbors.
My thoughts:
What Color is God’s Love? is a beautiful book. Each page features a different color, names a few things that are this color, and talks about how that color makes the narrator feel. For little girls like mine who love dogs, each page is a treat, because there is a dog romping with the children, as well as several other animals. Each page also talks about God’s presence and care. This is a delightful book to read at bedtime!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author, and these are my honest thoughts about it.
