This faith-based picture book highlights that there are all kinds of ways to be as a person (small or tall, quiet or loud, sporty or artistic, etc.) and God creates each person for a unique purpose and loves us no matter our personalities, interests, or skills. I appreciate that the children in the cute illustrations had a variety of skin colors and abilities (one child uses a wheelchair for mobility and several have glasses).
The book is apparently based on a song by Hillsong which is likely why the text is primarily paraphrased Bible verses rather than a 'story.' This was one of three faith-based picture books I read to our very young grandchildren, and they were the least engaged with this one, but that was likely due in part to waning attention spans.
Note: This story uses male pronoun for God which doesn't match my theology so I simply edited as I read aloud, replacing "him" with "God."
Thank you to David C Cook for the review copy of this book.
