What Does God Look Like?

by Lawrence Kushner, Karen Kushner, Dawn Majewski (Illustrator)

Multicultural, Nondenominational, Nonsectarian A simple way for young children to explore the ways we "see" God. To young children, the world is full of things to see and touch. And by using those very examples, this enchanting book gently invites children to become aware of God’s presence all around us. Abridged from Because Nothing Looks Like God by Lawrence and Karen Kushner, What Does God Look Like? has been specially adapted to board book format to delight and inspire younger readers. Much has been written about the importance of reading simple, beautiful books to babies and preschoolers to stimulate brain development. But perhaps even more important, what you read begins to shape your child’s world, and creates the images that will remain with him or her throughout life. We read books to our children about letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and safety, but do we give their minds the early food they need to think about life’s bigger questions? As spiritual development experts now tell us, each child develops an image of God by age 5, with or without religious instruction. What Does God Look Like? takes you and your child on an imaginative journey designed to help you open not only your child’s mind, but your child’s heart and soul as well.

[Caroline · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful, sweet, fun to read book about what God looks like, and how God doesn’t look like anything, because we can’t see God but we can know God is there. It features families of many races, and does not use pronouns for God.
Written by a Rabbi and his wife, it is not explicitly Jewish, and would be appropriate for many families who believe in a divine they call God.
