God's Very Good Idea by Trillia Newbell

Illustrated by Catalina Echeveri

A beautifully crafted story that helps children see themselves and others through God’s loving design. Inspired by the The Bible, it reveals that diversity has always been part of God’s “very good idea”  creating people of different skin tones, cultures, abilities, personalities, and gifts to reflect His image. When sin brought division, His good idea was spoiled, but through Jesus, God restores and unites His family again.

With engaging illustrations and simple storytelling, this book gently guides kids toward love, inclusion, and belonging, showing them that every person is valuable and everyone can be welcomed into God’s wonderfully diverse family.
