Produktbeschreibung

JERRY PINKNEY CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD "Dad smiled, 'We're all different because God is creative. Each one of us is God's unique work of art.'" "Every page and picture in this little book brings a smile to my face and a warmth to my heart. Josie's story will remind you—and every young girl attached to you—that your uniqueness is a reflection of the Father's creative genius. And then it will invite you to embrace every curl and to love the skin you're in." Bestselling Bible Teacher, Priscilla Shirer "Esau paints a beautiful picture of how we can weave biblical teaching into the ordinary stuff of life, all while helping your child gain the invaluable knowledge that she is fearfully and wonderfully made." -- Trillia Newbell, author of The Big Wide Welcome and God's Very Good Idea When Josey wonders why people are so different, Dad helps her understand that our differences aren't a mistake. In fact, we have many differences because God is creative! Josey is spending the day with Dad—getting her hair braided at Monique's Beauty Shop, and picking out a new red dress for Sunday. Because Sunday is Pentecost! In the process, she learns to celebrate the differences she sees all around her as part of God's plan for his creation. Children and the adults who read with them are invited to join Josey as she learns of God's wonderfully diverse design. Also included is a note from the author to encourage further conversation about the content. Discover IVP Kids and share with children the things that matter to God!
