Colors of Creation

Description

The splendor of God’s world comes alive in this simple retelling of the biblical creation story for young children. As a master Artist, God paints the new canvas of earth and sky, beginning with the black of silent, empty space, then adding color after color with the creation of stars, oceans, land, plants, animals, and all the rest. Colors of Creation will help your child see the world all around in a new light — as the beautiful handiwork of a loving Creator. Each color displayed is yet another reflection of his glory and another pleasure to enjoy. In the end, God’s masterpiece on earth is revealed in the people he creates, who can work and play, love and pray — and who come in every hue. Bestselling author Paul Thigpen tells the story in lively verse, with whimsical illustrations by artist John Folley that your little one will long remember. Review: Creative and fun bible book for young readers! - Put together a talented artist and a gifted writer and you get a fine picture book sure to delight the entire family. I have never seen a book quite like this. Of course we can fill our shelves with children's bible books, but this one falls into its own category. Paul Thigpen perfectly captures the profound meaning of creation and deftly conveys it in simple, lyrical verse. John Folley wields an almost magical paintbrush. With refined skill, he is able to fill the pages with glorious colors and engaging flora and fauna. I can image children with their heads buried in this book studying each illustration, growing in appreciation of God's creation. Highly recommended! Review: Another stunning Creation book from this author! - Wow, I loved Paul Thigpen's first creation book, and I love this one just as much. It goes through creation in order of the "days of creation" as explained in the Bible, but with a fun twist - each day is associated with a color. So it's a learn your colors through the story of creation book. Such a cool idea, that the author and illustrator did a phenomenal job on. And then, when they get to the part where God creates man, I started to cry. They brought out the beauty of God's plan in creating a "colorful" world - especially in the diversity of humanity. It really tied together the message that every color God creates is beautiful, both in nature and in our neighbor. A perfect message for our kids to learn today!
