For preschoolers--a first lesson in the interconnectedness of all
creation.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.... But something
was missing.
In this playful twist to the Genesis story, God asks all of nature to
offer gifts to humankind--with a promise that the humans would care for
creation in return. Your child will delight in turning the sturdy pages
to see and hear what the many animals wish for us.
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. How Did
the Animals Help God? 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.
Based on the award-winning picture book In Our Image: God's First
Creatures.
