Description
Reviews
School Library Journal"The questions raised are typical of those posed by young children, and the result is a book that presents the concepts in an understandable, concrete way." Booklist "In this lovely picture book, a small child questions her parents about the nature of God with a reassuring simplicity. . . . A graceful, quiet book to share on a lap or with a small group." CBA Bookstore Journal "Carlstrom understands children's minds and her answers both comfort and stretch those minds." Children's Bookwatch "A warm and delightful picture book." Publishers Weekly "Deftly juxtaposes an adult metaphysical sensibility against a child's hands-on approach to spirituality."
