As a Christian parent， I’m always searching for fun ways to incorporate God’s Word into our daily lives and teach my daughter more about God and His plan for us。 What better way， than through stories and books。 I love that this adorable little series feature Bible stories in a fun， enjoyable way。God’s Very Colorful Creation uses vibrant， joyful illustrations and simple words to paraphrase what Scripture says about the story of Creation in Genesis， chapter 1， encouraging littles to behold God’s c As a Christian parent， I’m always searching for fun ways to incorporate God’s Word into our daily lives and teach my daughter more about God and His plan for us。 What better way， than through stories and books。 I love that this adorable little series feature Bible stories in a fun， enjoyable way。God’s Very Colorful Creation uses vibrant， joyful illustrations and simple words to paraphrase what Scripture says about the story of Creation in Genesis， chapter 1， encouraging littles to behold God’s creation with awe and wonder。。。 The book teaches children what God made on each of the six days He worked and how He rested to enjoy His creation on the seventh day。 It is engaging and speaks of the many wonderful colors of the rainbow that can be found in the world around us， making it a point to use exciting， descriptive words and various， alternative color names。 In this particular book， on the sixth day， when God created man and woman， the illustrations and words allude that God created multiple people at once， in various ethnicities。 While I want my young daughter to understand that all people are created in God’s image， regardless of skin color or cultural background， this story deviates from Scripture， as we know God only created Adam （man） and Eve （woman） on the sixth day。 This could be confusing to some children who have an understanding of the Creation story already。 However， the message behind the book is still Scriptural in that God created people and asked them to multiply， thus creating many different ethnicities and skin/hair colors， and He called it good。 A definite recommendation from me for your little one’s library！ * I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of these books from The Good Book Company and all thoughts below are my own。 。。。more

The Good Book Company is my go-to publisher for quality children’s books。 Everything they publish is well thought out， age-appropriate， colorful， diverse， and just all-around quality。 Building on this incredible foundation， they’ve just released two more books in the Very Best Bible Stories series。This series is exactly what it bills itself as: a simple retelling of a biblical story。 Every story begins with “a true story from the Bible，” reiterating that while a lot of children’s books are ficti The Good Book Company is my go-to publisher for quality children’s books。 Everything they publish is well thought out， age-appropriate， colorful， diverse， and just all-around quality。 Building on this incredible foundation， they’ve just released two more books in the Very Best Bible Stories series。This series is exactly what it bills itself as: a simple retelling of a biblical story。 Every story begins with “a true story from the Bible，” reiterating that while a lot of children’s books are fictional， these are real history。 That’s an important distinction to make， especially for children。 The first page always includes a summary and after not being sure whether or not I liked that for the first couple of entries， I’ve landed on enjoying it。 It gives young readers an idea of where the story is going， tells them what to look for， and sometimes gives them hints for applicationGod’s Very Colorful Creation is a unique take on the creation story， using the motif of color to take readers on a journey through the creation week。 The first panel is a purply darkness—Everything was dark， but God’s Spirit was there， getting ready to do something amazing。 In the next panel， light explodes onto the page in all of its yellows and oranges。 The second day sees the introduction of blues as God creates the sky and the sea。 The sky was azure and cobalt， periwinkle and powder blue， baby blue and midnight blue。 It’s a beautiful， poetic， artistic way of expressing God’s creation。Jennifer Davison’s illustrations really carry the story， popping with a vibrance and brightness that draws the eye in and makes it linger。 My children have stared at each page for minutes， soaking in every bit of it。 I turn the page to keep reading， they turn the page back because they haven’t finished looking yet。 It culminates with God’s creation of man and woman in all their various colors。 And they grew and filled the earth。 Their skins were black and brown and tan and rosy pink。 Their hair was red and blond and chestnut and raven black。 “Oh， this is good，” said God。 “It’s so very， very good。”From creation care to Sabbath to understanding diversity to learning colors， God’s Very Colorful Creation shines magnificently。 Every time that I think The Good Book Company can’t do better， they surprise me with stories and perspectives I didn’t expect。 。。。more

This vibrant picture book features beautiful art and joyful text that celebrates color and God's creativity。 The book adapts the creation account from Genesis for a young child's level， and focuses on the beauty and majesty of what God made。 The illustrations from Jennifer Davison are bright， vibrant， and lovely to look at， and the text from Tim Thornborough has wonderful rhythm and includes lots of different color names and synonyms。 The vocabulary nerd in me particularly enjoyed this， and it's This vibrant picture book features beautiful art and joyful text that celebrates color and God's creativity。 The book adapts the creation account from Genesis for a young child's level， and focuses on the beauty and majesty of what God made。 The illustrations from Jennifer Davison are bright， vibrant， and lovely to look at， and the text from Tim Thornborough has wonderful rhythm and includes lots of different color names and synonyms。 The vocabulary nerd in me particularly enjoyed this， and it's a great way to teach children a broad vocabulary for different shades of color。 It is almost always clear from context what unfamiliar color names would refer to， and parents may learn some new words as well。Near the end of the book， the page about God creating mankind in his image pictures people with lots of different shades of skin。 This is a nice nod to racial diversity as part of God's colorful creation， but it could be confusing or distracting to some children， since the text presents this as part of the creation story without a specific focus on Adam and Eve as the characters in the Genesis narrative。 The book connects human diversity with the concept of people growing and filling the earth， but I think that this part of the book would have benefited from a stronger transition between the Genesis story and the future development of mankind。God's Very Colorful Creation is a great book for Christian families， churches， and Christian schools。 The book is so bright and colorful that it can be eye-catching from a distance， if a teacher is holding it up at the front of a room， and the enthusiastic， rhythmic text lends itself well to a read-aloud。 If I were reading this to children， I would clarify some of the specific details of the Genesis narrative to prevent confusion， but the book is a great way to celebrate God's creativity and design in the world around us and in the human race。I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

The Very Best Bible Story SeriesWritten by Tim Thornborough and Illustrated by Jennifer DavisonEvery book in the series includes on the first page: "in this true story from the Bible。" This is a connection I made last year and I have started to try to change my vocabulary when sharing a lesson from the bible I try to say， today I have a biblical event to share with you。 And I've been trying to eliminate story from my teaching the Bible language。 It is easier for me to remember to tell children t The Very Best Bible Story SeriesWritten by Tim Thornborough and Illustrated by Jennifer DavisonEvery book in the series includes on the first page: "in this true story from the Bible。" This is a connection I made last year and I have started to try to change my vocabulary when sharing a lesson from the bible I try to say， today I have a biblical event to share with you。 And I've been trying to eliminate story from my teaching the Bible language。 It is easier for me to remember to tell children that each lesson from the Bible is true。 What I like about the book: The book opens with a discussion of how many colors are in the rainbow， and ask the reader to point out different colors on the page。 The illustrator uses bold colors， expressive people， and beautiful blending of colors， images， that are warm and friendly。 The author's use of descriptive language and alliteration。 （He also introduces a lot of fun color words-puce， scarlet， papaya， cold gray light。。。） This author has a gift for adding in a repeated phrase that reflects God- in this book it is "This is good，" said God "It is so， so good。" The value God has in His creation- man in His image that are "beautiful and fabulous variety。"Joy in creation！ What I wonder: When God made people， the image and text talk about ALL the diverse people He made， and I wonder how this page and the biblical text will be taught to the littles who hear the true story， will they be confused at all the people when Genesis 1 refers only to man and woman- Adam and Eve being made。 （this is why it's only 4 stars）Educational Connections:Colors- art， blending， primary， secondary， the color wheelDescriptive languageAlliteration Types of stars- giants， dwarfCounting as the days are clearly labeledValue in diversity- God made men and women with "beautiful and fabulous variety。" Thankful to partner with the goodbook company and review this book。 。。。more
