I Wanted to Know All about God

by Virginia L. Kroll, Debra Reid Jenkins (Illustrator)

I wanted to know all about God, 
So I went looking for him in signs of His creation . . .

In simple, poetic language this engaging book explores the kinds of questions children ask about What does God do in the morning? Where is God at night? What colors does God like? What does God's love feel like? The warm, colorful illustrations depict children of diverse cultural backgrounds wondering about God and experiencing God in their daily lives.

Review: this book makes you realize everything that God does. He makes everyone different. He made many different things like colors, seasons, sounds, and people. It shows affection and trust and other things that he does for us.

This is such a cute book for little kids to learn about God. I would definitely want to put this book in my future library as a teacher. I think kids can really learn a lot about God in this book and it can also bring up some great conversation starters.

Preschool Sunday School class liked it - and seemed to satisfy some of those hard questions about where/what/who is God.

I child finds God all around, in His creations, in colors of different races, in the sharing of crayons, in Grandma's hug...
