Be Filled With Wonder
Is there any phrase more open to curiosity and possibility than the words I Wonder?
I WONDER: EXPLORING GOD’S GRAND STORY: an Illustrated Bible
By Glenys Nellist (author) and Alessandra Fusi (illustrator)
Zondervan Kids -2021
I WONDER: Exploring God’s Grand Story does just that by framing the Bible around the questions that children ask. And there are so many questions! Through the Old and New Testament, thirty important stories are written in lyrical language that opens the beauty of God’s word and invites children to question and be filled with wonder…
I wonder… if God still whispers,
I wonder… if God loves seeing rainbows as much as I do,
I wonder…how I can let my light shine in the world?
Joyfully illustrated with bright colors and beautiful details, children will meet and be inspired by familiar characters such as Jonah, Noah, Mary, and Jesus. Meant to be shared, this book will be a springboard for many important discussions as children learn about God’s deep love for them.
This inspirational and visually stunning children’s Bible is perfect for families, teachers, and anyone who loves exploring God’s story.
On a personal note, I was blessed to attend the Writing for Your Life Christian Children’s Writers Conference and was inspired by author Glenys Nellist. I had a zoom meeting with her and found her to be charming, witty, wise, and spirit-filled. Her books are so beautiful and I am thrilled to be able to share I WONDER: Exploring God’s Grand Story which I will be gifting to family and friends.
