If you've ever wondered where everything came from—like the flowers outside, the birds in the sky, or the moon at night—7 Days of Creation is the book to read! It explains to little ones what God did on each of the seven days and how things came to be along the way! It helps kids understand not only how great and powerful God is, but how creative He is too! He is the Master at arts and crafts, and He loves His creation more than anything. Story Behind the BookWith the incredible response 9 Fruits Alive and Jesus and the 12 Dudes Who Did received, it was clear that parents took to heart teaching their children that God Counts! My hope is that with these two latest installments and My Bible Storybook coming out in February, young ones will continue to learn even more about the wonderful God we serve.
