    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed God Went to Beauty School.  The idea of God as a person with good days and bad is beautifully portrayed in the many poems in the book.  I’ve always liked the idea of God as vulnerable and I think this book will resonate well with most teens. It’s interesting that Rylant’s first poem ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42164846">more...</a>]]></body>

In a simple and subdued voice, Rylent presents a deity, just beyond effable, who loves yet is filled with sadness and loneliness.
