My Love, God is Everywhere

My Love, God is Everywhere by Victoria Robb Powers and Cameron Mason Vickrey. Illustrated by Joanna Carillo. Thomas Nelson Books, 2023. On Sale: August 15, 2023.

Have you ever wondered where God is and what God looks like? In this lyrical picture book by Vickrey and Carillo we learn that God is not a distant deity in the sky but an integral part of all parts of life. The authors highlight the attributes of God in a simple attainable way for children. Through pairing opposite concept words and showing that God is in both places: high/low, happy/sad, good/bad, girl/boy.

"My love, God is here when you're happy, in your joy and celebration. God dances with you because you are God's creation. And God is there when you're sad, holding you when you're blue, grieving alongside you because God gets sad too."

The illustrations are beautifully done in a whimsical style featuring a black mother and child as they explore the world. From finding God in the animals and plants of creation or the stillness and chaos of our days God loves and treasures each of us as God's own.
