Kristen Wetherell’s Interactive, Rhyming Picture Book Helps Kids Learn About the World and Trust God as Creator of All Things

“Why do eagles soar up high while penguins walk the ground? And why do I stay sitting here while planet earth spins round?” Like young philosophers, kids are always seeking out wisdom about the universe. Often, their questions start with why. But as their worldview takes shape, it’s most important to help them understand who is in control of it all.
 
This rhyming story poses dozens of fascinating questions about animals, weather, people, and places that spark kids’ curiosity. A lift-the-flap feature on each spread lets children uncover answers about the world and God’s sovereignty. Written by Kristen Wetherell, this illustrated book draws inspiration from the last chapters in the book of Job to address some of children’s most-asked questions about life. It delivers biblical encouragement and fun facts in short, punchy answers that young readers can absorb. Sharing moments of discussion and discovery, kids will grow to trust God’s goodness, even in moments when they don’t have all of the answers. 

  • Interactive Picture Book: Features a rhyming story, colorful illustrations, and lift-the-flap spreads with fun facts
  • Biblical: Teaches kids to turn to God with their questions and trust him in all circumstances
  • From Kristen Wetherell: Author of the For the Bible Tells Me So board book series; What Makes You Beautiful: 20 Daily Devotions for Girls; and more
  • Makes an Excellent Gift for Ages 4–8
