Our Great Big World Donna Henderson

This book is a child's bird's eye view of God's handiwork. It introduces the Biblical truth of creation and encourages the child to love and take care of the beautiful earth God has provided.

"God loved us so much that He made a great big world, and He called it EARTH. God made wonderful things on the earth that would make us happy. He made the sky, sun, moon, stars, animals, humans, and more. Then God looked at all the things He had made, liked what He created, and said they were good."

Along with the Biblical Story of creation, the book provides simple activities to reinforce the child's understanding and appreciation of what God has done for them. The book includes activity pages to encourage them to "find" some of the things God has created. For example, there are pictures of different objects, and the child will identify a specific object.

Children have an opportunity to acknowledge their understanding of what they have heard or what they have read. Also included is a page for the child to draw something God has made.
