Ruthie Godfrey

I consulted to of my “professional” listeners before doing this review: my grandsons ages 4 years and 2 years. I know what I liked about the book but more important what did they think!
Children love learning about opposites. Ms. Godfrey’s book made it fun and also puts God front and center, the One who created opposites!
I was impressed with the beautiful, colorful illustrations that fill every inch of every page. Each opposite is composed of 2 pages of artwork. I liked that each was only 1 sentence; this keeps the “little’s” attention and doesn’t overwhelm them. Yet our reading was not fast as they took much time scanning the pictures and pointing out details. If I am not mistaken I counted 21 different examples of opposites. I was pleased with this as it introduced the boys to way more than you would usually think of!
I asked them which their favorite was and to my surprise it was the one about food, “sweet and sour, messy and neat”. This will definitely be reread, again, again and again. . . Once they like a book it must be read several times a day for quite a while.
Yes the book teaches opposites but first and foremost it teaches these precious children that God is the Creator of ALL THINGS.… (más)

This is the sweetest little book! And the artwork is bold, colorful, and charming.

God Made it All reveals how God is the creator of all things, big and small, deep and wide, young and old, etc. With a gentle rhyming narration, young readers are shown that everything we see, feel, hear, smell, and touch is a creation of God. What a wonderful realization for them to know that God loves them so much and made so many wonderful things for them.

With full-page illustrations showcasing the beauty of nature, including adorable animals (a sloth, cheetah, donkey, toad, skunk, birds) various foods, diverse people and weather, this book highlights many of the wondrous things God has made.
