For preschoolers--a first lesson in finding your place in God's creation.

This simple, beautiful book helps parents and children explore spirituality together by inviting children of all faiths and backgrounds to encounter God through everyday experience and the imagination.

Adapted from Sandy Eisenberg Sasso's award-winning God's Paintbrush, playful text and lively illustrations guide very young children in finding faith through colors, song and dance. Preschoolers will delight in turning the sturdy pages and beginning the journey of finding joy and meaning in their world.
